Jason J Mulikita Photography. (2024, October 14). I took this photo in the remote plains of Singida in Tanzania. It captures a young cattle herder guiding his livestock through the arid landscape. With a population of about 2 million, Mkoa wa Singida is a portion of Tanzania’s semi-arid central region, which has an unpredictable rainfall pattern, brief rainy seasons and a fairly severe drought once every four years. The region’s main food crops are maize, sweet potatoes, paddy, sorghum and cassava. Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1093801515645086&id=100050457431128&set=a.235565778135335
