Birdwatching Moshi Day excursion takes you to Nyumba ya Mungu (House of God) dam/reservoir situated about 50km south of Moshi (a 2 hours drive). The reservoir was created in 1965 when the Nyerere administration constructed the Nyumba ya Mungu (House Of God) Dam on the Pangani River.
The dam was originally built as a source of hydro-electric power for newly independent Tanzania and it continues to provide electricity for Tanga, Moshi and several other small towns in between. It also serves as an important source of food with an annual fish yield of up to 25,000 tons in a good year.
The tour to the reservoir takes you through a few very small and undeveloped villages. The reservoir is a mecca for waterbirds and with over 70 different species. Spent the day visiting different spots around the reservoir. Of interest primarily to birdwatchers.
