Lake Duluti, Waterfalls & Coffee Experience

8 HoursCombo PackagesArushaMount Meru

The Lake Duluti, waterfalls and coffee experience is a green, active day on the slopes of Mount Meru. You start on the water, canoeing a quiet crater lake ringed by fig forest, then head into the montane forest above Arusha for a guided walk to the Napuru Falls before finishing on a working coffee farm with lunch and a tasting.

Two of our favourite Arusha half-days joined into one guided day, at 10% less than booking them separately.
