Geita Region, Administrative region in northern Tanzania
The territory spans 20,054 square kilometers between Lake Victoria and the regions of Mwanza, Shinyanga, Tabora, Kigoma, and Kagera.
The region emerged in March 2012 when authorities restructured the administrative divisions by separating territories from Shinyanga, Kagera, and Mwanza regions.
The population includes several Bantu ethnic groups, with the Basukuma, Sumbwa, Haya, Zinza, and Nyamwezi communities maintaining their distinct traditions.
Two main paved roads, T3 from Kahama to Rwanda and T4 connecting Mwanza to Bukoba, serve as primary transportation routes through the region.
The Geita Gold Mine, operated by AngloGold Ashanti, stands as one of Tanzania's largest gold extraction facilities, contributing substantially to national mineral production.
