We often go to visit our friends at Mavuno village, about an hour's drive outside Mwanza. At Mavuno there is a little beach on the shore of Lake victoria. We have been fortunate to spot a large monitor lizard on several occasions at the beach, but we were really surprised on Sunday to be greeted by this large spitting cobra.
We had been watching the cobra for a couple of minutes, taking some photographs and video when suddenly a mongoose appeared from the bushes to the right of the picture and attacked the snake. The cobra retreated to a hole in the rocks on the left of the picture, where it remained hiding for the rest of the afternoon.
All who visit Mavuno beach - take care around these rocks!! You never quite know what's hiding in there!
