Lake Tanganyika lies in the rift valley in the centre of Africa. With a surface area of 13,000 square miles the lake is one of the largest in the world 350 miles long and 35 miles wide. In 1914 it was also the natural border between German held East Africa on its Eastern shore, the Belgian Congo in the West and British controlled Northern Rhodesia to the South.
