About Kigoma

Kigoma on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika is Tanzania's most westerly city and the gateway to Gombe Stream National Park — home to the chimpanzees made world-famous by Jane Goodall's research. Lake Tanganyika is the world's second-deepest lake, one of the oldest in the world, and its crystal-clear waters support hundreds of endemic cichlid fish species found nowhere else. The remarkable setting — a deep blue lake stretching to the Congo on the distant western shore — lends Kigoma a frontier romance unlike any other Tanzanian city.
