The source of Nile eluded 19th century explorers, but today’s tourists can easily view the waters that supply it, Lake Victoria. It is the largest lake in Africa and the second largest fresh water lake in the world. It is home to the lungfish a unique fish type that dates back 300 million years, which can breathe air in to its swim bladder, which then act as a primitive pair of lungs.
Scenically beautiful, Lake Victoria also has great numbers of fish, the most successful commercial variety being Tilapia.
