| 2. Immerse in the Tranquility of Lake Tanganyika | Delve into the serene embrace of Lake Tanganyika, the world’s second-largest freshwater Lake. The lake is also the world's longest (673 km), the deepest lake in the world after the Baikal Lake in Russia and second-oldest freshwater reserve. Its crystal-clear waters, teeming with diverse aquatic life, offer a haven for swimming, kayaking, fishing and snorkeling. It is shared between Congo, Tanzania, Zambia, and Burundi. There are more than 350 species of fish in the lake, and about 95% of them are endemic. Besides the fish, Lake Tanganyika is home to amazing species of animals that astonish tourists all year. Animals live here both on the lake and on the shores of the lake. There is a great spot to see crocodiles, but especially the hippos, which occasionally come out of the lake to sunbathe on the beaches, providing a unique spectacle for tourists and nature lovers. Bask in the sun-kissed shores of Lake Tanganyika, where pristine beaches offer a tranquil escape. Indulge in water sports, savor fresh, and witness the captivating sunsets that paint the sky with hues of gold and crimson. |
