The ground is often hard and stony, but all covered over with grass and plants: looking down at it, the grass is in tufts, and like that on the Kalahari desert.

Trees show uplands.
One tree of which bark cloth is made, pterocarpus, is abundant.
Timber-trees appear here and there, but for the most part the growth is stunted, and few are higher than thirty feet.

We spent the night by a hill of the usual rounded form, called Njengo.

The Rovuma comes close by, but leaves us again to wind among similar great masses.
