Bao is a traditional mancala board game played in most of East Africa including Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Comoros, Malawi, as well as some areas of DR Congo. It is most popular among the Swahili people of Tanzania and Kenya; the name itself "Bao" is the Swahili word for "board" or "board game". In Tanzania, and especially Zanzibar, a "bao master" is held in high respect. In Malawi, a close variant of the game is known as Bawo, which is the Yao equivalent of the Swahili name. In Burundi it is called Ikibugu or Urubuguzo.
