Overview

Cruise Africa’s Longest Lake from Kigoma

Lake Tanganyika stretches along a dramatic Rift Valley shoreline. A guided boat safari from Kigoma takes in fishing villages, forested hills, and good chances of spotting hippos and fish eagles.

Choose a shorter shoreline cruise or a longer full-day trip toward Gombe or nearby bays. Message our Kigoma team on WhatsApp for a free consultation.

About

One of the World’s Great Lakes

Lake Tanganyika is the second-deepest and second-oldest freshwater lake on Earth, holding roughly one-sixth of the planet’s available fresh water and hundreds of unique cichlid fish species.

Its steep, forested shoreline and remote fishing villages make a boat safari here feel far removed from Tanzania’s more visited northern safari circuit.

Perfect and reliable service to book a taxi pickup from the airport in Dar es Salaam. Payment online upfront. Great communication via WhatsApp.

Thank you! We were met at the airport timeously by our driver, very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, he had to wait about 2 hours for us as our luggage was stuck in the plane. This took a long while to sort out but he waited patiently, letting my husband sit in the car as it was very hot. Thank you for your assistance!😊
