Goma people

(Swahili:Wagoma), (Khihoma:Bahoma), (Ebembe:Bakyobha) are the tribe located in the Kigoma Region in western Tanzania who also have the tendency to refer to themselves as Al ghamawiyyun in Arabic.

They are a contingent of the Bantu tribe who are more commonly found in Tanzania and present day Democratic Republic of Congo who migrated from the western shore of the Lake Tanganyika in Democratic Republic of Congo with origins from Sudan.

They are the first group of the Bantu tribe to ever cross the Lake Tanganyika and also the first group to reside in the Urban District of Kigoma as its inhabitants. Followed the Wagoma, were Niakaramba (Kwalumona) from Cape Karamba and then Wabwari from Ubwari peninsula, the Kwalumona merged within Wabwari, identified themselves as Bwaris and settled north of Wagoma in Kigoma before resettled in Ujiji and its environs where they all formed a tribal Confederacy in Ujiji known as Wamanyema.

The Wagoma managed to cross the Lake early due to their invention of dug-out canoes mitumbwi ya mti mmoja curved from Mivule trees of Ugoma mountains from western shore of the Lake.
