CombatCol, to find the tropics look on a globe or map of the world and find the equator. If you look closely you'll see there are parallel lines above and below it marked "The Tropic of Cancer" and "The Tropic of Capricorn", the band around our planet between those two lines is officially the tropics.

CombatCol, between approx 23 degrees North of the Equator, and approx 23 degrees South of the Equator. All around the world , including the area between those lines in Africa , South America , the Atlantic and the Indian and Pacific Oceans etc. A very well defined area.

Vague question. Large could mean surface area or volume, the former not revealed until the description. Lake Tanganyika is larger than Lake Victoria by volume.

FreeDom, Surely not ‘Lake’ Sango, but a word meaning lake in the same language as ‘Sango’.

OnerousBarbarian2025, that information is very interesting; my husband works in Africa and hates it as he's the lone American.

WaldoLydeker, I completely agree. As though it never 'existed' before it was named after a British monarch, by a white man.

The largest lake in Africa should have an African name. Most of it borders 2 countries, so they should have a say. Since its capital is on the lake, I pick Lake Uganda.
