Hundreds of Burundian refugees aboard the MV
Liemba making the 3-hour journey down Lake
Tanganyika to Kigoma, from where they were
transferred to Nyaragusu refugee camp. More than
122,000 Burundian refugees have arrived in Tanzania
since the beginning of 2015 fleeing political violence
in Burundi. Only able to carry 600 people at a time,
the 100 year old ship travelled day and night between
Kagunga and Kigoma.
