Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
UJIJI , a town in German
East
  Africa, also known as Kavele, situated on the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika, in 40 55' S,, 29 40' E. It is connected with Cape Town by an overland telegraph line. The population (about 14,000) is composed of Arabs and members of numerous Central
African
  tribes. Ujiji is the
meeting
 -point of merchants from all parts of Tanganyika, and the terminus of the caravan route from Dar-es-Salaam. Arabs from
Zanzibar
  made Ujiji their headquarters during the' first half of the 19th century, and it became a
great
  slave and
ivory
  mart. In 1858 Richard Burton and J. H. Speke reached Ujiji from
Zanzibar
 , being the first Europeans to see Lake Tanganyika. In 1869
David
  Livingstone, coming from the
south
 , arrived at Ujiji, and it was here that H. M.
Stanley
  found him on the 28th of October 1871. In 1890 it came within the German sphere of influence. (See TANGANYIKA and GERMAN
EAST
  AFRICA.)
