The
Gogo (singular:
mgogo, plural:
Wagogo) are a
Bantu ethnic and linguistic group based in the
Dodoma Region of central
Tanzania. In 1992 the Gogo population was estimated to number 1,300,000.
[1]The Gogo have historically been predominantly
pastoralist and
patrilineal (tracing descent and inheritance through the male line), but many contemporary Gogo now practice settled
agriculture, have migrated to urban areas, or work on plantations throughout Tanzania.
