Snorkel Among Cichlids in Lake Tanganyika
Lake Tanganyika’s rocky shallows near Kigoma are home to hundreds of colourful cichlid fish species found nowhere else in the world, visible in some of the clearest freshwater on the planet.
A short boat ride brings you to a good snorkeling spot with a local guide who knows where the fish congregate. Message our Kigoma team on WhatsApp for a free consultation.
Freshwater Snorkeling Unlike Anywhere Else
Lake Tanganyika’s isolation over millions of years produced an extraordinary diversity of endemic cichlid fish, prized by aquarium keepers worldwide but best seen in their natural rocky habitat.
Because it’s freshwater, no wetsuit or salt-rinse is needed afterward, making this one of the more relaxed snorkeling destinations in Tanzania.
