Explanation

Lake Victoria is located in the African continent. This lake lies between Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya in Africa. Lake Victoria’s boundary does not directly touch Rwanda; however, Rwanda is a part of its vast drainage basin. Its area is about 68,800 sq km and the average depth is about 40 metres. The only outlet stream from Lake Victoria is the Nile River, which flows out near Jinja in Uganda as the White Nile. In terms of surface area, Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world after Lake Superior. ## Straits
