LAKE zone region in Northern part of Tanzania has been blessed with wonderful natural features with attractive greenish scenery that includes landscaping and hilly lands. As you happen to travel along the shores of lake Victoria basin, you might come across these features in some areas mostly small mountains closely to the lake shores.

A small hill like this one here full of stones and little vegetation in it is a typical example of a natural features which can be seen along the shores of the lake Victoria and its environs


I saw one like this and took its photo when I visited the area recently on my way to my in-laws. Such features are an attractions to the people visiting the place. The government can make use of these natural features into advertising tourism potentials in the country

Along the shores of Lake Victoria, fishing is a major economic activity taking place in the area though to some extent agricultural activity is also practiced, fishing still dominates a larger part of the human activities as most youths are engaged with in ordeer to ear their living in these areas. The Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries in the country has been against illegal fishing currently being practiced by few untrustworthy fishermen along the lake shores, and one of the most serious steps it has taken so far in order to curb the escalating habit around, is together with the confiscation of the illegal fish nets which had been prohibited by the government an aspect which has slowed down the development of the fishing industry.

A fishing dhow as it can be seen far in deep waters. Fishermen in lake regions can now communicate in their celtel mobile phones while in their fishing mission even in deep water areas.

In recent years, fishermen in the lake zone had been experiencing a lot of difficulties in communicating each other while in their fishing mission far in deep waters. But Celtel (T) Limited, one of the leading cellular phone companies in the country has upgraded its communication network within the area an aspect which according to fishermen, it had to a greater extent facilitated the communication link by using their mobile phones. The company has improved its communication network in the region, hence fishermen are now happy with the move for they can now communicate with their colleagues even if are in far in the middle of the lake. Unlike before when communication network was not reliable.


Road infrastructure in Mara region has been improved, the main road from Bunda to Tarime that covers approximately 173 kilometers is a well constructed road and motorists have found it comfortable while driving along with their cars, though some do not even care for the danger likely to be caused on the way. The environment of the land in Mara region looks so greenish with small mountains providing a fascinating look of the environment that can be seen from far a distance. This is a tropical type of the land


There are occasional accidents which occurs that involves knocking down livestock As I was driving along the way I found it comfortable and without feeling inconveniences of potholes along the way as it used to be before. But sometimes it is very bad to see that there some motorists who do not obey traffic rules and sign posts placed on the main roads wherever necessary to maintain safety.
