Lake Tanganyika
SPECIAL TOUR Twenty years ago, on a visit to Lake Tanganyika on its Tanzania side, I recall thinking that the lake’s clear waters spoiled me for any other lake in Africa.

Tanzania
SPECIAL TOUR Tanzania is where MTT’s love affair with Africa began some 20 years ago, so it continues to keep its place as an MTT favourite.
