A Experiência

Lago Victoria, o maior lago tropical do mundo é o lar de inúmeras espécies de peixes e animais selvagens que se desenvolvem ao longo de suas margens. Sua porção sul está localizado na Tanzânia e é delimitada por dois outros países do norte ou seja, Uganda e Quênia. É enorme ainda raso, o que o torna um bom local para a canoagem. Visitantes são ainda estimulados a pescar em suas águas para uma imersão pouco. Além da pesca e canoagem, o enorme Lago Victoria é pontilhada com praias de areia branca e ilhas cênicas bom para exploração, de ilha em ilha, passeios de observação de pássaros, safari e muito mais.

Quando ir

The best time to see the Lake Victoria is from August to September when weather is not too hot and generally in good condition to do water sports and other activities. If you fancy historical tours, there are also archaeological sites to explore in the area. What's more, it is good to travel to the Lake Victoria in Tanzania because you won't feel overcrowded by peddlers and tourists which are common sights during the peak season. However, a potential drawback for traveling during this season is that lake tours as well as safari excursions may be a bit expensive than usual. The best way to offset this is to travel in a group and stay in lodges. Many people love fishing and marvel at the diverse species in the Lake Victoria and also visit surrounding places in Tanzania. One of the most popular fish for tourist catch is the Nile Perch which you must definitely try; the fish can grow as long as 6 feet! Water sports like wind surfing are also available if the wind condition is good. Bird enthusiasts will get to appreciate many bird species while exploring the lake because there are lots of animal reserves in the area. Safari tours are also a must if you are traveling in a group and you still have plenty of time to explore the rest of Tanzania.

Odds n 'Ends

Here are some reminders if you decide to travel to Tanzania and visit Lake Victoria, the world's largest tropical lake. Prior to your visit, ask your doctor for pre-treatment of malaria and immunization for yellow fever. This is a must when going to tropical countries like Tanzania. The weather will be balmy, wear clothes that are light and airy but never provocative. Bring sunscreen and insect-repellant to prevent mosquitoes from biting at night. If you happen to want to go swimming on the blue waters of the lake, avoid wading in the bank where snails are. Lake Victoria is also famous for these snails that are host to deadly parasites that can get into your bloodstream even without open wounds, take care not to wade or walk where these snails are. US dollars are widely accepted for exchange; do not bring travelers' checks and credit cards because only few banks and establishments will accept payment through these, unless they are major hotels in the country. Here are some useful sites that may help you in case you plan to see the world's largest tropical lake and the rest of Tanzania:

Ficar trancado em História no Castelo de Elmina Slave
As the door slammed shut, a wave of claustrophobia enveloped the thirty-two people crammed into a dingy cell at the Elmina Castle on the Ghanaian Gold Coast. The cells here are no bigger than an average closet, and the only light which can be seen from the inside is a small square of light at the door. Everything inside the cell was black and quiet except for the breathing of those people around me. A few moments later, the door swung open and my lungs breathed in fresh air with relief. The staggering moment came when our tour guide informed ...364 quilômetros de distância.
Ver pegar um pássaro olho da Mata no Parque Nacional Kakum
My heart pounds as I look over the landscape. Taking the first step is key to one of the greatest experiences I'll have in Ghana, if I can just get over the height. One deep breathe in and I'm going for it. Stepping onto the first bridge feels like freedom in the sky. It's a shaky freedom for me but freedom nonetheless. Exploring Kakum National Park in central Ghana provides an exhilarating close look at African nature. At 40 meters high in some areas, taking a canopy tour over the Kakum rainforest feels like a walk in the clouds. North ...386 quilômetros de distância.
