Lake Victoria
The largest Lake in Africa, Lake Victoria's reputation precedes it. The vast lake is famous as the source of the River Nile, for its lengthy history with colonial explorers and for its excellent fishing. Visiting Lake Victoria from the Tanzanian side is far from the usual tourist track and affords a unique insight into a remote and lesser explored wilderness area, home to immense scenery and incredible wildlife.

holiday to Tanzania
From Hamerkop to Zuri, the customer service was beyond our expectations - they were all truly just super genuine and kind. All of the properties were unique in their own way and a pleasure to stay at. I would recommend every property to anyone considering Tanzania and Zanzibar.
