    Nice lake with not nice access
    The lake is very nice. The water is fresh but enough warm to swim and get pleasure. But I didn’t like that you cannot reach the water easy because there are a lot of closed areas and fences. Even if you get the beach it will be a small short peace of shore. But the lake is worth to visit it.

    Feels like being on an island!
    I was recently able to stay at Mahale Beach Lodge (formerly Kungwe Beach Lodge) on the Eastern side of Lake Tanganyika. What a beautiful setting! The lake is so big that you have the sensation of being on an island. This was probably one of the most remote locations I've stayed, and thoroughly enjoyed being far away from the bustle of home!
