The Chagga people, also called Chaga, Waschagga, Jagga, or Dschagga, live on the southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. Administratively, the area lies in the Kilimanjaro region in northern Tanzania, south of the border with Kenya. The region is further divided into three districts, Hai to the west, Rombo to the east, and Vunjo in the center.
Traditionally the Chagga people belonged to different clan groups ruled by mangis (chiefs). The area was thus divided into independent chiefdoms.
