;Lake Victoria
For about 80 years, the [[Lake Victoria ferries]] have carried rail wagons and vehicles from [[Uganda]] to [[Tanzania]]. The [[Train ferry|ferries]] are jointly run by the railway companies of [[Tanzania]] and [[Uganda]] and are the main means of transport between Tanzania and Uganda as well as between northern Tanzania and southwestern [[Kenya]]. Other ferry services link the [[Zanzibar archipelago]] and Tanzanian ports.
;Lake Tanganyika
Once a rival to Lake Victoria as a waterway, the [[Lake Tanganyika]] ferries are no longer as busy and train ferries no longer operate. Trade has suffered from wars in the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]]. Small ferries link communities along the Tanzanian shore (some with no road access), and commercial traffic runs between [[Kigoma]] and [[Bujumbura]], [[Burundi]] and [[Mpulungu]], [[Zambia]], including the [[MV Liemba]].

;Lake Nyasa
Communities along the northeast shore (some without road access) are linked by ferry, and Malawian steamer and boat services have run the length of the lake for about 120 years.
