We hereby pronounce you “Lizard Mountain”

Last saturday we went to the Monkey Mountain together with the three medical students from Umeå. Maggan is in Dar es Salaam so we thought that it would be nice to show them some of the surroundings here in Nkinga. In addition, company is always enjoyable!

We have walked to the Monkey Mountain several times since Maggan showed it to us, but we have never seen even a single tiny monkey. However, we have seen loads of lizards… therefore we would now like to rename the Monkey Mountain to the Lizard Mountain! It seems like a more suitable name.

During our promenades we have stumbled across some amazingly fascinating lizards, have a look at these ones:

Why just choose one color when there are so many beautiful?
This lizard is sitting on a Baobab tree.
We are wondering if this might be the female of the same species as the one above.
A dying chameleon that we found on the road.

A close up on the chameleon.
A not so colorful lizard, even though very fascinating!
The totally amazing turquoise lizard. 

 And since we heard that lizards eat insects they have become our best friends. Long live the lizards!
