Lake Tanganyika Beach Escape — Africa's Secret Coast - Image 1

Tour Overview

The western shore of Burundi meets Lake Tanganyika — the world's second-deepest and longest freshwater lake. The lakeside around Bujumbura offers golden sandy beaches, warm clear water, and sunsets that rival any ocean destination. Swim in water so clear you can see 20m down, snorkel to discover unique cichlid fish species found nowhere else on Earth, and enjoy fresh lake fish at beachfront restaurants. This is beach holiday bliss without a tourist crowd in sight.
