Tanganyika Province
Tanganyika Province, Provincial capital on Lake Tanganyika, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Kalemie extends along the western shore of Lake Tanganyika where the Lukuga River joins the great lake at an elevation of 768 meters.
The city, established in 1891 by Captain Alphonse Jacques, served as a base for Belgian-Congolese forces during the East African campaign of World War I.
The population of Kalemie communicates primarily in Kingwana, a local dialect of Kiswahili, while French maintains its status as the administrative language.
The transportation network includes Kalemie Airport for domestic flights and a port facility connecting the Great Lakes railway system to Lake Tanganyika maritime routes.
The Lukuga River flowing through Kalemie forms the only outlet of Lake Tanganyika, connecting it to the Lualaba River system.
