Fishing in the swamps

Fishing in the swamps

A small local population live in papyrus huts around the lake and fish for a living and for food. Presumably when the water levels increase in the wet season, the houses are destroyed and the people have to move away from the swamps. It had been an incredible 24 hours since we landed and we could have stayed a lot longer but it was time to load up the plane and fly to our final destination of the trip.
