Lindi Region, Administrative region on southeastern coast, Tanzania
The region extends across 67,000 square kilometers of land, including 18,000 square kilometers of the Selous Game Reserve along the Indian Ocean.
The name Lindi originates from Swahili words referring to hiding pits where local populations sought protection during historical invasions along the coast.
The region encompasses multiple ethnic groups, including Makonde, Makua, Mwera, Matumbi, and Magingo communities, each maintaining their distinct traditions and customs.
The territory divides into five districts - Kilwa, Ruangwa, Nachingwea, Lindi, and Liwale - with 142 wards and 541 villages across the region.
The Indian Ocean coastline stretches 287 kilometers, supporting substantial fishing activities with numerous registered vessels operating in these waters.
