Nyumba ya Mungu: Trip XVIII

Ana checking the bird book with the Blue Mountains in the background
Nyumba ya Mungu is one of our favorite places to visit in Tanzania (Trip XVII). This is a result of a view factors, mainly the uniqueness of the landscape and the proximity to where we lived in Moshi. The continually fluctuating water levels means the wetlands at the north of the reservoir constantly change. The reservoir had received a significant amount of water meaning that it wasn't as picturesque as usual with muddied water.

We were happy it was a cloudy day. On a clear day the landscape is stunning but stifling. With some cloud cover we were able to walk around the wetlands in the north and check out the fisherman and birdlife in the area. The last time we had visited there was a ban on fishing in the area but we inquired with local fisherman and it appears the ban has been lifted.

We left Moshi at 6am in order to reach early and leave early. We ended up getting back to Moshi around 1pm, perfect timing to grab a nice lunch after a hard day out!
