The final "stop" on our trip was a brief exploration of the Mtera Reservoir. It's the largest dam in Tanzania and straddles the Dodoma/Iringa Region borders. The lake is 56 kilometres (35 mi) long, and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) wide and we decided to stop at the southernmost edge that we could find. We hoped that we could find a wetland or marshy area but instead came upon some fisherman and pastorlists grazing their animals.
It was a nice overcast day so the heat wasn't too bad. We went on a short walk around the edge of the lake and admired the size of the lake and the hills in the background. We thought it would make a good future camping expedition since it's about 2 hours from our new home. It's similar to the dam and reservoir that we used to visit,
Nyumba ya Munga, though I doubt we'll get to visit as often.
