Tanzania is home to numerous gorgeous and world known lakes yet, possibly the most spectacular of these is Lake Victoria. We organize lake tours and activities for those visiting and looking for something off the beaten tourist path. If that is the case, our Lake Victoria activities are highly recommended.

Why Visit Lake Victoria?  

There are numerous lakes within the African continent that are recognized the world over for their sheer size and the natural diversity they offer. Among what are known as the African Great Lakes, one of the best known is none other than Lake Victoria.

The lake its self is massive touching on three different countries, Kenya, Uganda and Kenya to be specific. Drawing its water from the great River Nile, this lake is a must visit if you’re coming down to Tanzania!

Lake Victoria Activities

If you’re thinking Lake Victoria activities are restricted to boat rides and fishing think again. Lake Victoria has a number of enlightening, interesting and fun activities for visitors to partake in.

Islands

There are various islands dotting the lake which may be visited. The islands are water locked and isolated resulting in the presence of rare and spectacular wildlife species and vegetation. Guided boat tours to these islands are among the most sought after lake related activities available.

Museums

If museums are your thing, the Sukuma Museum is another point of attraction for you when visiting Lake Victoria. The museum is largely an open air setup displaying artifacts such as tools and ritual drums among other things. Depending on the time you go there, you might even be able to witness some spectacular local traditional dance performances.

People and Culture

If soaking in the local vibes and culture is what you’re about, a Lake Victoria visit will cover that too. The city of Mwanza is located on the banks of the lakes and is the second largest urban center in the region. The area is of high economic import and has strong Indian influences due to migrations that occurred generations ago. Visitors may sample local cuisine, shop or simply relax in one of the local bars and chat with the locals! You can even catch a glimpse of the unusual looking Bismark Boulders when visiting!

Logistical Information

Lake activities and trips are usually conducted in the span of a day, however, lodging and other amenities are also available to those looking into extended stays.

The area is child-friendly and requires little to no pre-preparation if you’re visiting on a tour package or with a tour group.
