Discover Bujumbura & Lake Tanganyika
A Unique Fishing & City Tour Experience 🎣🌊
Looking for a unique experience during your visit to Burundi?
Imagine spending a day exploring Bujumbura’s hidden gems and enjoying an authentic fishing experience on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, one of the oldest and deepest lakes in the world.
At M Travel and Tours Burundi, we’ve created a special Bujumbura City & Lake Tanganyika Fishing Tour that combines sightseeing, culture, and hands-on adventure — making it a perfect choice for travelers seeking something authentic and unforgettable.
Why Choose This Tour?
Lake Tanganyika isn’t just a lake — it’s a natural wonder shared by four countries: Burundi, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia.
Known for its crystal-clear waters and incredible biodiversity, it’s home to over 350 species of fish, many of which are found nowhere else in the world.
During this experience, you’ll join local Burundian fishermen — alongside Chinese and Indian fishing communities who have made Lake Tanganyika their home — for an interactive fishing adventure. It’s more than a tour; it’s an immersion into culture, nature, and tradition.
