Sail Into Sunset on Lake Tanganyika
A traditional wooden dhow carries you out onto Lake Tanganyika as the sun drops behind the hills of the Democratic Republic of Congo across the water.
A relaxed, scenic way to end a day of chimp trekking or lake exploration. Message our Kigoma booking managers on WhatsApp for a free consultation.
Traditional Sailing on an Ancient Lake
Dhows and wooden fishing boats have plied Lake Tanganyika for generations, and a sunset sail offers a gentle, low-key way to appreciate the lake’s scale and stillness.
With the DRC’s mountains visible across the water and fishing lamps beginning to flicker at dusk, it’s one of the most photogenic moments of a Kigoma visit.
