The kanga is a colourful garment traditionally worn by women in Tanzania and Zanzibar. It’s a piece of printed cotton fabric with a border along all four sides and a central part, which decorations are different.
Following the tradition, even nowadays kangas have a message in Swahili along the longer edge - often in the form of riddles or proverbs.
Beside being clothes, a kanga can be used in many ways - as home finishing or blanket… colors and decorations are so nice and colorful! It’s a good idea to buy some as souvenirs to bring back home after your holidays. You will find a wide choice around shops and markets.
For now, here you are a picture of amazing African prints!
