Lake Tanganyika Travel Info

Forming much of the country's western border, the long thin and extraordinarily deep Lake Tanganyika has for centuries attracted independent-minded explorers, travellers and naturalists.

It was on the lake's shore in 1871 that Stanley met Livingstone - the only other white face for hundreds of miles of uncharted territory in any direction - with the famously understated greeting "Doctor Livingstone I presume".
