Kayaking, rafting, and boating safaris are also available in national parks like Lake Manyara and Tarangire during the rainy season when water channels swell. Expert guides skillfully navigate the routes, offering insights into wildlife, vegetation, and local cultures along the shores. Abundant opportunities for canoeing photography present themselves, capturing intimate moments in nature.

Whether paddling by canoe, kayak, or small boat, this safari experience provides an unforgettable closeness to Tanzania’s aquatic ecosystems and wildlife.
