There is article state: Tanzania Said to have fewer lakes "49" in common (Great and small pools lakes-than others East African countries) Ranking 3rd:

Beside Tanzania: The article also exaggerate: Uganda ranking 1st with "69" and Kenya 2nd with "64" Lakes, and small pools lakes.

BUT: What is a real and what is a myth!? (Language used: (Swahili & English)

Remember, Lakes are not like a Rivers, Streams, Glaciers, Marshes or mangroves, and Dams (Which altogether looks alike) "Small pools "mentioned" resembles like a lake" but they are different)

About the article's the numbers in Kenya and Uganda also involves (Small pools, mangroves, Marshes, Dams etc) that why i said "exaggerated number) If you deny it, give us the names, or outline those-that found in your country!

Tanzania Should be Ranking: 1st, Uganda 2nd, and Kenya 3rd, because of the geographical nature of those mention countries, also the total size of those countries' Non deserts zones, &  sources of inland streams that made a lake etc.

In my accounting bellow (Regards Tanzanian mainland) I try to #Mention Lakes, and not including Swamps, Dams or mangroves areas) to establish evidence in that number...

Lets dive In Swahili: Tanzania imefanyizwa na mikoa takribani (26 mainland & 5 in Islands (Zanzibar regions)  na ikiwa imepakana na nchi za Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, na Congo DRC, ambazo kwa pamoja zinaunda Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki (EAC), Malawi na Msumbiji upande wa kusini.

Nchi hii ina utajiri wa mbuga za wanyama nyingi zaidi ya 69, ina Mlima mrefu kuliko wote Afrika na wa pili kwa Dunia (Highest standing mountain) KILIMANJARO, na Ecosystem yenye utajiri wa Mito, Maziwa na bahari.

Ni kwa mantiki hiyo basi tunakusogezea baadhi ya Maziwa (Lakes) yanazopatikana katika nchi hii, (Eneo la Tanzania Bara) kama ifuatavyo:
