We returned to our most visited and one of our favorites spots this weekend (
Trip I,
II,
III,
IV,
V & VI,
VII,
Trip VIII,
Trip IX,
Trip X,
Trip XI,
Trip XII). Although we recently went a few weeks ago, we decided to invite two 13 year olds that accompanied us on the
Big Bird Day. They had never been to Nyumba ya Mungu and each bird day we talked about taking them, so we finally followed through on our promise!
We thought it was a great time since we went two weeks ago and saw a ton of birds. The water level this time of year is quite low so you can get closer to a larger variety of birds. As usual, the landscape was breathtaking!
The day was a pretty normal Nyumba ya Mungu day, though we left around 9am which made for a fewer birds than usual on the way there. It was, as usual, extremely hot when we arrived at the reservoir, but we spent more time then usual since there were so many birds! The boys really had a great time and they were good listeners when we told them to drink water and put on sunscreen. We were all very tired, dusty, and sun-beaten when we arrived back to Moshi around 6pm; it was truly a full day!
