Lake Tanganyika
Lake Tanganyika is the second-largest freshwater lake in the world by volume, and is also one of the oldest lakes in the world. With a depth of 4,920 feet (1,500 m), it is also the second-deepest lake in the world. The lake is part of the East African Rift Valley fault system, and mountains rise on either side. Due to the prolonged isolation, an incredible 600 species of fish are thought to be endemic to Lake Tanganyika. The lake water is crystal clear and supposedly free of bilharzia. The activities offered at the lake include swimming, snorkeling, sailing, fishing, and kayaking. Please check with the camp about hippos and crocodiles as they are known to be present in the lake.
