‘The East African territory of Lake Mashariki;’ think about it

'The East African territory of Lake Mashariki' would be the very best managed place in the world basing on avoidance of whatever is bad in the rest of the world and freely accessible by all East Africans.

If we started discussing the wonders of East Africa’s Lake Victoria, it would take us several days and still a lot would remain unsaid. Maybe that is why we rarely start discussing the huge subject. In fact, most residents of Kampala rarely remember that they live on the shore of this continent’s largest freshwater lake.

It is tourists and financially capable locals with speedboats who deliberately go far into Nalubaale (its local name on the western side) to savour its clean blue water. Kampala locals who go to the beach do so to eat smoked Tilapia, while drinking intoxicants to musk the smell of its abused green water near the land.
