Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world, with a surface area of approximately 68,800 square kilometers. It is shared by three countries: Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya, with Tanzania having the largest share of the lake. Lake Victoria is an important source of water, food, and transportation for the people living around it, as well as a significant economic resource for the three countries. Fishing is the primary economic activity in the lake, with several species of fish being found in its waters, including the Nile perch, which is an important export product. The lake is also an important tourist destination, with several activities such as fishing, birdwatching, and boat tours being available to visitors. The best time to visit Lake Victoria depends on the activity one intends to engage in, but generally, the dry season from June to August and from December to February is considered the best time to visit.
