African Great Lakes Kingdoms, c.1880

The African Great Lakes kingdoms refers to the numerous historic kingdoms in the African Great Lakes region. These polities existed sometime between the eleventh and nineteenth centuries as independent kingdoms, and had similar and yet sometimes distinct cultures, values and traditions. The Great Lakes kingdoms were found in Southeast Africa and some parts of Central Africa, in what is present-day northwest Tanzania, south Uganda, some parts of Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo.
