Highlights
Itinerary
Arrival and Airport Pick up
Arrival at Bujumbura airport, clearance of formalities and meeting with a well experienced guide. Accommodation at the Safari Gate Hotel or similar, lunch at leisure. In the afternoon, relaxation on the shores of LAKE TANGANYIKA and, if time permits, first visits to the city. Located in one of the great pits of the Rift Valley, Lake Tanganyika is the deepest lake on the continent, first visited by Europeans in 1858, during Burton and Speke's famous expedition in search of the source of the Nile. Fishing is an ancient activity on the lake. Alongside artisanal fishing, practiced by villagers with pirogues made from tree trunks and mainly at night with the use of a lamp or torch, there is industrial fishing with purse seines or trawls, certainly more fruitful but also more invasive. The lake is also one of the country's tourist attractions, with equipped beaches. But beware, it is not uncommon for relaxation to be interrupted by the appearance of a hippo or crocodile! Dinner and overnight stay in the hotel, in double rooms with services.
