Mwongozo River
(A FIVE TRUNK location and even warm water)
Location
To the south of Gezaulole village, which is 3miles east of Kibada and 12miles east of Dar es Salaam (via the ferry at Kigamboni)
Grid Ref
??
Features
Excellent stretch of fairly isolated warm water close to where it enters the sea. The latter affects the depth, although there are always places deep enough for a proper swim. Very tame birds in the adjacent bushes can be viewed if you are quiet and local kids may well join you in the water.
Hazards
Some people might find the water too warm!!!!! We did have a possible sighting of a crocodile, but it turned out to be a tree branch in the water.
