Lake Nanja: Trip III

Beautiful landscape

The last place we visited on our trip north was Lake Nanja. We had visited twice before (Trip I, Trip II) but hadn't visited in the wet season. We were greeted with a sublime landscape of fresh grasses and flowers. We parked our car not too far in the mud and then walked around the western side of the lake. We met a few groups of Maasai taking their cattle to drink and saw some interesting waterbirds. We tried to drive around the south end but we were met with an impassable road so had to turn back before our long drive to Dodoma.

You can see our car, tiny in the bottom right. I climbed an escarpment for the photo.
