AFRICA AND ITS EXPLORATION. 
“ If you proceed toward sunset from Mpororo, you 
will see Muta Nzige, the Nianza of Unyoro. There 
are many large islands in it. Utumbi is a country of 
islands, and the natives are very good, but you cannot 
proceed through Mpororo, as the people are Shaitans — - 
devils — and the Wanya-Ruanda are wicked ; and because 
something happened when Wangwana first tried to go 
there, they never tolerate strangers. A strange people, 
and full of guile verily ! 
“ West of Ruanda is a country called Mkinyaga, and 
there is a large lake there, so I have heard — no Arabs 
have ever been there.” 
Then a native of Western Usui, at the request of 
Rumanika, said : — 
“ Mkinyaga is west of Kivu Lake or Nianja Cha 
Ngoma, from which the Rusizi River flows into the lake 
of Uzige (Tanganika). To reach Mkinyaga, you must 
pass through Unyambungu first, then you will see the 
great Lake of Mkinyaga. Lake Kivu has a connection 
with the lake Akanyaru, though there is much grass, as 
in the Ingezi, below here. A canoe could almost reach 
Kivu from Kishakka, but it would be hard work. 
“ Akanyaru, which the Wahha call Nianja Cha-Ngoma, 
is very wide. It will take a day and a half to cross, and 
is about two or three days’ canoe journey in length. It 
lies between Ruanda, Uliha, and Urundi. The Ivagera 
coming from between Uliha and Urundi flows into it. 
The Nawarongo empties into the Ruvuvu between 
Ugufu and Kishakka. The Ruvuvu between Kishakka 
and Karagwe enters the Ivao;era ; the Kao'era comes 
into the Ingezi, and flows by Ivitangule into the Nianja 
of Uganda. Kivu lake is west-south- west from Kibo- 
gora’s capital, in AVest Usui. Kivu has no connection 
with Muta Nzige, the lake of Unyoro.” 
Then a native of Zanzibar who had accompanied 
Khamis bin Abdallah to North-Western Uhha said : — 
“ I have been west of King Khanza’s Uhha, and I saw 
a large lake. Truly there is much water there. Urundi 
was to my left. Ruanda fronted me across, and I stood 
on Uhha.”
