East Africa’s lakes and rivers offer excellent opportunities for canoeing and kayaking. In Kenya, Lake Naivasha and Lake Victoria provide calm waters for paddling while enjoying the scenic views of the surrounding landscape and spotting birds and hippos. Uganda’s Lake Bunyonyi, one of the deepest lakes in Africa, is another popular spot for canoeing, with its 29 islands offering picturesque views. Canoeing and kayaking trips can range from relaxing day trips to multi-day expeditions.
