Lake Victoria

Uganda lake Victoria beach

Named after Queen Victoria and one of Africa’s Great Lakes, Lake Victoria is the world’s largest tropical lake, with its waters divided between Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. Known as Nnalubaale in Luganda, the lake's size, tropical highlands, beaches, 200+ species of fish and wildlife-rich islands make it a worthy stop on any East Africa tour itinerary.

Early accounts from 19th century explorers like Henry Morton Stanley and fiction writers like Joseph Conrad depicted Africa as uncivilised, mysterious and barbaric, reflecting the racist attitudes that underpinned European empire building.
