ZAMBIA: EXPLORE LAKE
TANGANYIKA TOURISM
By Chatula Kangali January 5, 2016
Government and stakeholders have been urged to
explore the tourism potential on Lake Tanganyika
in Mpulungu District to positively contribute to
the growth of the sector.
Mpulungu Habour Authority (MHA) manager, Dennis
Kaluba said there was need for all stakeholders
to explore the tourism potential on Lake
Tanganyika, the longest fresh water Lake in the
world and surrounds Zambia, Tanzania, Burundi,
and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Mr Kaluba said if explored, Lake Tanganyika
could contribute to the growth of the tourism
sector in Zambia as it had more than 350 species
of fish.
He said the fish on the Zambian side had been
depleted due to poor fishing methods and that
only exotic ones were remaining.
"Lake Tanganyika is a fresh water body which is
beckoning investment in tourism. The water body
has more than 350 species of fish of which most
are exotic, including the gold fish which is
beautiful to look at," he said.
Mr Kaluba said the lake had a number of bays
around it which could attract tourists across
the world.
He further said modernisation of the
infrastracture at the habour was progressing
well, and that the consultant engaged was
expected to conclude the detailed engineering
designs early this year.
Mr Kaluba said Government recently procured
ultramodern equipment at a cost of US$5 million
which would be installed at the habour.
He said the port currently had three folk lifts,
a reach stacker and a crawler crane, and was now
able to handle containers going out of the
country.
