Buzimba was a kingdom in what is today Uganda. It was incorporated into the British Ankole protectorate in 1901. It was governed by a monarch known as the Omukama, same name used in other Bantu-speaking monarchies in the Great Lakes region. Buzimba was annexed to the British Ankole Protectorate in 1901 and lost its autonomy and monarchical governance under colonization. [1]
Buzimba functioned as an independent polity before the arrival of British colonial administration. Its monarch, the Omukama, exercised political, military, and ritual authority over the kingdom, similar to other contemporary kingdoms in the region such as Tooro, Bunyoro, and Nkore.
In 1901, Buzimba was incorporated into the British Ankole Protectorate, losing its autonomy and traditional monarchical governance under colonial rule. The incorporation reflected the broader consolidation of territories in the region by the British colonial administration during the early 20th century.
