Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, shares borders with Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Not only that, but Lake Victoria is the largest tropical lake in the world and the largest lake near the Equator, between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. It is the second largest freshwater lake in the world (Lake Superior is the only larger freshwater lake). Also neat about Lake Victoria is the fact that there are around 3000 islands in it! This lake is named after Queen Victoria.
