I am trying to find bathymetry for Lake Victoria (or portions).
Any GIS format and almost any resolution will do.
As a last resort a hydrographic chart will suffice.

Below is a GIS Portal to Lake Victoria at William & Mary University in Williamsburg, VA

This site says it has Shapefiles with bathymetry for Lake Victoria

@albert - thanks for the note. Ya, even the W&M website seems to intersperse using University and College. Commented Dec 25, 2015 at 22:53
I made my own from 10,000 points. http://bit.ly/LV_Bathy is the URL.

Very cool data product. One suggestion: it would be good to point to an xml document with the reference system and other metadata (EPSG 102024, right?). Commented Oct 19, 2016 at 4:08
