Mumbo Island is an absolute tropical paradise by any measure. The island is pristine - barely touched by man. The 5 bungalows are each private with spectacular views of the lake. There is an additional double bungalow for families. Tasty meals with fresh produce are served in the open air dining area. Words cannot describe the island - see the pictures. I will add that there is a regular rhythm of water lapping at the shore punctuated by b
ird calls. There are no mosquitoes on the island - only gnats. The green lush beauty of the rainy is achieved by 80-85 F, and either 90 - 100% (rain) humidity.
The bucket showers are quite comfortable (addition of heated water optional - not necessary).
Swimming next to the shore reminds me of Hawaii. The water is warm and the fish are beautiful and numerous. The freshwater is warm and clear. The bright blue sky of yesterday turned into overcast wind and clouds this afternoon. In the morning, Bryce and I paddled around the island; we ventured into a cave - disturbed a colony of bats - and quickly retreated. After lunch and a siesta in the hammock, we tool a hike across the island to pod rock. We d
iscovered the source of the name - pods from the overlying trees accumulate on top. The view was fabulous.
The breeze off the lake combined with the lack of mosquitoes combined for the best nights sleep we have had in Africa.
