The Lake Victoria<\/em> \u00a0 (also called Victoria Nyanza) is the largest lake in Africa and the second largest freshwater lake on earth. The lake is located on the border of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. In the lake there are a number of islands, including the Ssese Islands. Striking was the particularly rich fauna. \u00a0 There were about 2,500 different species of fish in Lake Victoria, while there \u00a0 were only over 200 species of freshwater fish throughout Europe. Unfortunately, little of this diversity is left after the Nile perch was evicted in the lake in the 1950s, a large predatory fish. \u00a0 On the edge of the lake are a couple of nice resorts, where it is wonderfully relaxing. A pleasant break from your safari through Kenya or Tanzania.<\/p>\n Lake \u00a0 Tanganyika<\/strong> \u00a0 is also a cross-border lake, on the border with \u00a0 Tanzania, Burundi, Congo and Zambia. The lake is not only an important source of food for the surrounding villages, but also an important source of income through tourism. In the lake is Lupita Island,<\/strong> with an exclusive lodge on top, where you can enjoy a wonderfully relaxing stay.
