About

Everyday Life on Lake Tanganyika’s Shore

As Tanzania’s main port on Lake Tanganyika, Kigoma’s markets buzz with fish traders, produce sellers, and goods arriving from across the lake and neighbouring countries.

A local guide helps navigate the market’s rhythms and introduces visitors to the people and stories behind the stalls, adding context you wouldn’t get browsing alone.

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!😊
