lake Tanganyika

Lake Tanganyika, with a surface area of 32 900 km2 and a maximum depth of 1 433 metres, is one of the African Great Lakes and the second biggest freshwater lake in the world in terms of volume and depth. Measuring 677 km in length, it is also the longest lake in the world, and is home to a vast fauna. It is partly supplied by Lake Kivu on the one hand, and empties into the River Congo on the other.
