The Tumbuka Kingdom was a pre-colonial state established by the Tumbuka people in what is now northern and central Malawi, Tanzania and parts of Zambia, spanning from approximately the 15th century to the 1870s. The kingdom evolved through several distinct phases, beginning with the M'nyanjagha Kingdom (c. 1400s–1770s) and later transitioning to the Chikulamayembe dynasty (c. 1805–1870s) after the arrival of Unyamwezi traders known as the Balowoka.
