Tanganyika is the third largest lake in the world by volume
and one of less than 20 ancient lakes on
earth. It's the second largest lake in Africa and holds at
least 250 species of cichlid fish and 150 non-cichlid
species, most of which live along the shore line down to a
depth of approximately 600 feet. Snorkelling and
swimming here are a fantastic experience as the waters
are usually, warm, clear and calm.
