Community protected area bridge

Still quite a bit of water in the river.

Last weekend we drove through the community protected area (WMA) bordering Ruaha National Park for the first time since the rainy season (Previous Trips I and II). We are planning to do some work next month in that area but we are pretty much the only people that access a large area of the WMA. We wanted to survey the condition of the roads as well as check out the water levels of the rivers.

The journey was somewhat uneventful; we did get stuck in a sand river as well as stuck in a rocky gully. The roads weren't too terrible but one of the places we really wanted to reach was not passable due to a washed out bridge (see photos below). We need the water to recede a bit more in order to perhaps cross the sand. It might require some work on the riverbanks but I'm confident we can make it to the other side!

A few years ago....

That bridge is gone...
