If you ever get a chance to go definately recommend checking out Kigoma and Ujiji on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. It's where Stanley met Dr Livingstone and the 'Dr Livingstone I presume?' exchange supposedly happened. The lake is amazing, ~50m visibility in fresh water.
Trolling through my google photos I found pic related, a ruby and kyanite porphyroblast I found in the Nguru Mountains in central eastern Tanzania.
