Victoria Lake

Oh, so you thought only America has some treacherous spots, but of course, there are other places in the world. Yes, Africa, too, has some dangerous water bodies that are better left untouched. Exhibit A – Victoria Lake. The name might sound royal, but it’s far from it. The reason is frequent thunderstorms that could make the waves go sky high.

And unless you’re Aquaman, you are suggested to steer clear of this seemingly placid lake, which also happens to be the second-biggest freshwater lake in the world. Just a little trivia we thought you might appreciate.
