Lake Tanganyika in pictures.

Lake Tanganyika stretches along Burundi's western border, ranking as the second-deepest and second-oldest lake on Earth after Lake Baikal in Siberia. Its clear waters teem with hundreds of endemic cichlid fish species found nowhere else in the world. Fishing villages, sandy shores, and dramatic sunsets make the lakefront the heart of Burundi's tourism.
