Mwanza, Tanzania
Why visit Misungwi?
Misungwi is the seat of Misungwi District in Mwanza Region, on the road to Shinyanga. The district's black cotton soils have made cotton the dominant cash crop since German colonial administrators promoted it in Sukumaland, alongside staple crops like maize, paddy rice, and cassava. The population is predominantly Sukuma, Tanzania's largest ethnic group.
