The reservoir was created in 1975, by damming the Ruaha river close to the main road between Iringa and Dodoma. Mtera reservoir is one of the best places for birdwatching in Tanzania . The shallow waters at the former Logi Mbuga can be particularly recommended. To go there you turn west from the main road at Chipogoro. At Logi village guides can be easily obtained.
