Lake Ngosi is a shallow lake located in the Katavi region of Tanzania. It is situated in the Rukwa Rift Basin, which is part of the East African Rift System. The lake is fed by several small rivers and has no visible outlet, which suggests that it is a terminal lake.
The area surrounding Lake Ngosi is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and many species of birds. There are also several small fishing villages around the lake where visitors can learn about the local way of life and sample some of the fresh fish caught in the lake.
Lake Ngosi is relatively undeveloped and is not yet a major tourist destination in Tanzania, but it offers a unique and authentic experience for those who are willing to venture off the beaten path. The best time to visit Lake Ngosi is during the dry season (May to October), when the weather is pleasant and wildlife is easier to spot. However, visitors should be aware that the area around the lake is prone to flooding during the rainy season (November to April), which can make travel difficult or even impossible.
