context_page_description: Lake Victoria ferries are motor ships for ferry services carrying freight and/or vehicles and/or passengers among Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya on Lake Victoria.
  Operating ferries on Lake Victoria are most often Ro-Pax ferries for the simultaneous transport of passengers, vehicles and goods. Some other ferries are dedicated to the transport of goods / vehicles only, and also some others are catamarans for passenger transport only.
  For most of the 20th century, Lake Victoria ferries were international ferries operating clockwise or counterclockwise around Lake Victoria. In the 21st century, ferries are mostly operating domestically within the borders of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and between mainland ports and ports on Lake Victoria islands.
