Rainy Season in Mango

Rainy season is my favorite time of year! For June, July, and August, the temperatures are usually quite comfortable (for Mango anyway), and the landscape turns a brilliant green.

I just love the way dew drops cling to the grass!

Big beautiful baobab trees come in all kinds of twisted shapes!

It took wading through a thigh-high overflowing creek with our bikes to get to this long lake out in the bush.

This is the closest thing you’ll find to a forest around Mango. Elsewhere they are cutting trees faster than they can grow but these trees are protected.
