North Wembere

The Wembere country is a broad lowland of grass and seasonal wetlands in the interior of Tanzania. The river flows north through a floodplain before reaching Lake Kitangiri, whose waters continue towards Lake Eyasi. Rain transforms the plain, spreading water across its grasses; in the dry season the land becomes hot and grazing is concentrated around remaining water. These contrasts make the seasonal movement of herds an enduring feature of the region.
