(a) Settle along Lake Tanganyika. Water transport lets me move bulky goods more cheaply and quickly between several countries and inland ports around the lake, creating steady trade routes and demand for freight services. Lakeside towns also concentrate markets and infrastructure, unlike rugged Kilimanjaro or the sparsely settled savanna.
