Datooga

Datooga country lies near the Wembere drainage, where seasonal floods spread across broad grasslands before the waters flow toward Lake Kitangiri. The Datoga are pastoralists whose cattle provide milk, meat and hides. Their society also includes skilled blacksmiths, who make iron goods and maintain a distinct place within the community. Herds and human settlements share a landscape of wooded uplands and floodplain pasture.

The later city of Singida lies here.
