Momela Lakes

Fringed by the lush green hills and flourishing acacias of Arusha National Park, Momella Lakes is a group of seven lakes formed as a result of Mount Meru’s prehistoric eruption. Each wondrous lake has a separate source of spring water and algae growth; this results in beautifully unique and brightly coloured lakes. A bird and animal watching haven, Lake Momela is a wondrous habitat for aquatic birds, attracting pink flamingos, African fish eagle, and African jacanas in the hundreds. At the same time, its banks are an excellent grazing point for giraffes, zebras, and buffaloes. The true beauty of the lakes and their remarkable landscapes are best enjoyed during a leisurely canoe trip.
