Burundi | Swimming in Lake Tanganyika

Swimming in Lake Tanganyika is like in being in four African countries at once. Lake Tanganyika is one of the African Great Lakes. I swan in this lake on the shores of Burundi. Majority of the lake is in Tanzania and DRC .
I took a trip from Rotana to Rumonge the ride there is epic as you pass such impressive landscapes. If you have never been to Burundi this definitely a reason to go

How many lakes make up the Great lakes in Africa? How many have you been to ?

[@suntanglory]

I've always known Burundi is one of the hidden gems in Africa but l did not realise lake tangayika stretches to Burundi as well. The place is stunning, the blue water is breath taking, beautiful, a true nature's swimming pool. Thank you.

[@Liesel81-across-all-borders]

Burundi has quite a number of beautiful attractions. The culture in terms of traditional dresses and dance have strong similarities to Rwanda. As well as the rolling hills, the infrastructure is however not on the same level as Rwanda

I thought I don’t know how to fly a drone but watching this makes me feel like a pro drone flyer😂

[@Liesel81-across-all-borders]

Lol I am so nervous everytime I try cos people almost always close in on you and I never really get the chance to practice cos either people around want money from you (mostly on the continent ) or they are worried about their privacy 😭😂😅 so I need to go to somewhere with no one around🙊🙈🙉

[@Liesel81-across-all-borders]

I had just come from rwanda where I had to turn in my drone at the airport for the whole of my stay. Hopefully I will find somewhere safe to practice 😂😂😂

[@AtufeLydiaSarah]

Yes there are Crocodiles 🐊 in Tanganyika but they’re found near Marshy Areas or along the Rivers that flow in/out of the Lake

Is the water clear enough to see through it under the water?
