Zanzibar Museum.]] Unyanyembe is a town in Tanzania (formerly German East Africa) near Mwadui Airport in Shinyanga Region. It was one of the locations visited by Henry Morton Stanley during his search for Dr Livingstone. In the 19th-century it was the headquarters of a kingdom that controlled Tabora as well as other areas. (David Livingstone was there in 1872, and borrowed a pocket chronometer, witness the document at the right.)

==Kingdom of Unyanyembe== Unyanyembe was a 19th-century kingdom where the main ethnic group was known as the Nyamwezi, although many other ethnic groups were present as well.
