Maji ya Chai

Maji ya Chai is an administrative ward in the Arumeru district of the Arusha Region of Tanzania. According to the 2012 census, the ward has a total population of 29,313.[1]

The name in Swahili literally means 'tea water' as the river that flows through the village is the red brown clear color like tea water. This comes from the geological conditions of Mt. Meru, where the village is found on its foothills.
