Lake Tanganyika Tour
Discover the Jewel of Burundi with M Travel and Tours Burundi
Where Nature, Culture, and Serenity Meet
Welcome to Lake Tanganyika, the second-deepest freshwater lake in the world and one of Africa’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Stretching across four countries — Burundi, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia — this magnificent lake is a hidden gem of Burundian tourism.
At M Travel and Tours Burundi, we offer custom Lake Tanganyika tours that blend relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion in a way you’ll never forget.
🛶 What to Expect on a Lake Tanganyika Tour
Our guided tours give you a complete Lake Tanganyika experience. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, water enthusiast, or simply looking for peace and beauty, we’ve got something for you.
💦 Scenic Boat Cruise
Enjoy a peaceful boat ride along the shores of the lake. Cruise past palm-lined beaches, fishermen at work, and traditional villages while soaking in panoramic views of the mountains and crystal-clear water.
Bonus: Our own tourist boat operated by M Travel and Tours Burundi is available for private and group trips!
🐠 Snorkeling & Swimming
Lake Tanganyika is home to over 300 species of fish, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. You can take a dip in the refreshing water, snorkel, or just relax by the beach.
🏖️ Beachside Relaxation
Spend time on the beautiful Saga Beach or Tropitel Beach, perfect for sunbathing, music, dancing, or simply enjoying a cocktail under a palm tree.

Meet local fishermen, visit nearby villages, and discover how life has revolved around this lake for generations. From traditional fishing boats to fish markets, this is an authentic cultural experience.

The shores of Lake Tanganyika are a haven for birds and small wildlife. Depending on your tour plan, we may visit areas rich in biodiversity, like the Rusizi River delta, where you might spot:
- African fish eagles
