It is found in East Africa, within 0 20′ N to 3 00′ S and 31 39′ E to 34 53′ E at an altitude of 1134 m. It has a surface area of about 68,800 km2 and a maximum depth of about 70 m. The lake is shared by Tanzania (51%), Uganda (43%), Kenya (6%), with a drainage basin of about 195 000 km2 which includes the neighbouring states of Rwanda and Burundi. |
