Njombe Region was established on 1st March 2012 by the Government Gazette No.9 under GN No.72. The region is located in Southern Highlands Zone which comprises of Ruvuma, Iringa, Mbeya, Njombe and part of Morogoro Regions. It borders Iringa Region in the North, Morogoro Region in the East and Ruvuma region in the South. It also borders Republic of Malawi via Lake Nyasa and part of Mbeya Region in the north-west and West. It lies between latitude 08o 40’ and 10o 32’ south of the equator and between longitude 33o 47’ and 35o 45’ east of Greenwich. 


The region is linked with neighbouring regions of Iringa, Mbeya, and Ruvuma by a tarmac road. These roads also link with Mozambique, Zambia and Malawi countries. Most of the roads within the region are in good condition and passable throughout the year. It is divided into four districts namely Njombe, Wanging’ombe, Makete and Ludewa. Also there are six Local Government Authorities namely Njombe and Makambako Town Councils, Njombe, Makete, Wanging’ombe and Ludewa District Councils. There are a total of 18 Divisions, 96 Wards, 384 Villages and 35 Mitaa 

The Regional climate is influenced by a number of factors which have led to the formation of three climatic zones namely, the Highlands Zone, the Midlands Zone and the Lowlands zones. The Highlands Zone lies at an altitude of 1,600 – 3,000 meters above sea level. This area includes Imalinyi in Wanging’ombe district, Lupembe in Njombe district, Mlangali, Liganga and part of Mawengi Division in Ludewa and Makete districts. Temperature is normally below 15o C with rainfall ranging from 1,000 to 1,600 mm per annum, falling in a single season from November through May, The dry and cold season occurs after the rain season, and it lasts from June to September.

The Midlands Zone lies between 700 – 1,700 meters above sea level. This area includes Ludewa and Njombe Town and Northern parts (Lupembe and Makambako) with rainfall ranges between 1,100 and 1,300mm and temperature are mild to cold falling to below 100C during June-July.

The lowland zone lies between 600 – 1,400 metres above sea level. This area includes Mdandu and Wanging’ombe Divisions in Wanging’ombe District, Masasi and Mwambao Divisions in Ludewa District and Mfumbi Ward in Makete District. Temperature is between 150C and 200C with rainfall ranging from 600 to 1000mm, with occasional mild droughts in 4 out of 5 years.

The variation in climatic conditions in terms of temperature and rainfall patterns offers investors opportunities to diversify their agricultural (e.g. horticulture) and livestock products (e.g. milk and wool) to take advantage of low seasonal supplies in other parts of Tanzania, East and Southern Africa and the world market in general.
