Simiyu

Stretching between Lake Victoria and the Serengeti, Simiyu is a region where open plains, thriving farms, and strong cultural roots define everyday life. Its vast, fertile land makes it one of Tanzania’s key producers of cotton, maize, and sunflower, earning it a central role in the nation’s agricultural economy. Across villages and towns, local markets bustle with harvests, while the rhythm of rural life moves in tune with the seasons.

Simiyu is also a gateway to world-renowned destinations. It borders the southern reaches of Serengeti National Park, offering easy access to one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife spectacles. At the same time, it is home to the Sukuma people, Tanzania’s largest ethnic group, whose customs, music, and traditional dances bring the region’s culture vividly to life.
