Makumira
Makumira is a small village in the Arusha Region of northern Tanzania. It lies on the slope of Mount Meru, the fifth highest mountain in Africa. Makumira is about 16 kilometres from the town of Arusha on the main road, A23. The neighboring villages are Tengeru and Usa River.
Makumira is growing due to the presence of Makumira University College, the local branch of Tumaini University, which is run by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT).
Transport in the village is mainly by minibus (dalladalla).
The biggest tribe in this village is the Meru tribe. The village is growing gradually due to the presence of students at Tumaini University Makumira, and becoming wealthier as a center of business.[citation needed]
