Tanzania Nile

The Tanzania Nile basin consists of several rivers.

Lake Victoria is approximately half into Tanzania territory. There are many rivers that flow through Tanzania and empty into Lake Victoria that can be considered minor Nile sources.

For example the Mara River flows from the southern border of Kenya into Tanzania and then reach Lake Victoria.

Other rivers that flow into Lake Victoria from inside Tanzania.

  • Isanga River
  • Kadasi River
  • Mori River
  • Ruwana River
  • Simiyu River
  • Kagera River

The history of human habitation along these rivers and inside Tanzania.

This like other surrounding African countries is considered to be some of the oldest land on earth to have been occupied by homonids and humans. The earliest hunter gatherers built communities that likely were cushitic or Khoisan speaking.

At the beginning of the Christian Era, some 2000 years ago, Bantu speaking African culture took the land around Tanzania through migrations from the west of Africa. Travellers and merchants have come and gone since and changed the political powers.

This Mara Croc video might be a bit of a tell on what the early inhabitants were up against. Not the best place to go swimming.
