How about a trip to East African lakes / southern Great Rift Valley

East African lakes / southern Great Rift Valley

SummaryA Brief Summary

Forming the central and southern end of the Great Rift Valley, a boundary line between the African and Indian tectonic plates, this region of Africa is festooned with large and deep lakes, high mountains, deep valleys and a huge variety of ethnic groups, cultures and nationalities. If you’ve ever wanted to take a long journey across this region, from the vast but shallow Lake Victoria in the north, all the way to Lake Malawi and even possibly Lake Kariba on the Zambian / Zimbabwean border (ending your trip at the staggering Victoria Falls), June is an ideal month to do this. The weather is warm and sunny, rain is rare and travel throughout this region, somewhat challenging at the best of times, is at its most predictable during this period.
