(a) Settle along Lake Tanganyika, a freshwater lake in the Great Rift Valley.
I would choose this location because Lake Tanganyika is not only one of the largest and deepest lakes in the world, but it also serves as a crucial transportation route for trading goods between East African countries. The lake's significance as a waterway provides access to various markets, while the surrounding area offers natural resources and opportunities for economic activities such as fishing and agriculture, making it an ideal place to settle and work.
