We recommend spending a full day on the edge of this great lake as part of a longer safari itinerary through the Serengeti. Take a canoe trip on the lake to observe the hippos and birdlife before visiting a local village, see fishermen at work and a primary school.
Introduction

In geographical terms it is relatively young at 400,000 years of age. Lake Victoria (named after Queen Victoria) is divided between three countries; Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, with a 49% share. This vast lake is home to a wide variety of fauna including hippos, Nile crocodiles, African clawless otters, monitor lizards and kingfishers.
