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.

The tour was interesting, and the driver was good. However, we feel the travel agency should have informed us in advance about the guides who wait at the park entrances and accompany tourists to geysers and waterfalls. The booking confirmation made no mention of this at all; it only stated that park entrance fees, food, and drinks were not included. When we have no idea how much the guide’s services will cost, we don't know how much cash to bring, since credit cards aren't accepted in places like that.

I contacted the agency online and they were prompt in their replies. They were able to suggest the itinerary for me, and were flexible with my requests. The driver was punctual and drove safely. There was no hard-selling.

I had never booked through this company before and was concerned. But the driver was even early and everything was perfect. Absolutely the most amazing lemur experience.
