Celebrating 103 years since the end of infamous Maji Maji rebellion against German colonists, Songea town in the Ruvuma region of Tanzania has been declared an historical tourist site.
In addition, the town has launched the Songea tourism circuit and the Maji Maji Memorial Museum.
The museum will facilitate research and the preservation of historical data and will help the Ruvuma region to continue to attract tourists. It will be the only museum in the region that conserves and preserves some of the original tools and weapons used by the Ngoni and Matengo warriors during the Maji Maji war.
