Pare people

Ethnic group from Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania

The Pare are a Bantu ethnic group. Their ancestral home is on the Pare Mountains of Same District and Mwanga District of Kilimanjaro Region in Northerneast Tanzania. During his visit to Usambara in 1848, German Colonial explorer J. L. Krapf was informed, among other things, that there were the Wapare and Wagweno people living in the north. It seems that the people of South Pare were referred to by the former name, and the people of North Pare by the latter. We refer to both groups by the name Pare nowadays. The Pare Mountains' southern peaks were known as "Mpare," thus it is evident from Pare customs that the name Pare was bestowed upon them by their neighbors to the south. It appears that Upare, as it is now called, consisted of two distinct communities until the early nineteenth century, although they had been progressively merging since the latter part of the eighteenth century.
