  Really nice little canoe ride. Lots of different types of birds to see. Allan was our guide and he was really knowledgeable and very pleasant. I would def recommend him. There were two types of canoes, 1 for 10$ per person, the other for 15$ per person. The guide was an additional reasonable amount and they come along in the canoe with you. For some reason our hotel told us it was 40$ per person but that ended up not being the case.

  Great boat ride. Views are breathtaking. There is a restaurant and the prices are affordable. Entry fees and boat riding fees are worth your pocket. You get to enjoy at least an hour of the ride.

  Spent two hours with a guide slowly canoeing around the lake and bird watching. Amazing flora and great diversity of birds. Not great if you're looking for adventure, but a nice way to spend the morning if you have an afternoon flight.

  This sacred lake is Incredibly beautiful. We saw Cormorants and many other birds, monkeys, monitor lizards, a snake, termite mounds and lush green jungle. Our guides were very knowledgeable and fun. On a clear day there’s a lookout to see Mount Kilimanjaro. At a lookout you’ll hear people praying
