Dive Among Cichlids in Lake Tanganyika
Kigoma Bay’s clear, calm water and rocky reefs make for excellent shore-accessible diving, with hundreds of colourful cichlid species found only in this ancient Rift Valley lake.
A certified local guide leads dives suited to both beginners and experienced divers, in water that stays a comfortable temperature year-round. Message our Kigoma booking managers on WhatsApp for a free consultation.
Freshwater Diving Unlike Anywhere Else
Lake Tanganyika holds roughly 98% of the world’s known cichlid species, many found nowhere else on the planet, making it a genuine draw for divers beyond Tanzania’s better-known ocean reefs.
With no currents or surges to contend with, diving here is notably calm and beginner-friendly, and a small local dive centre based in Kigoma Bay operates trips out to the best rocky reef sites.
