Mguu wa Zuberi (Swahili for 'Leg of Zuberi') is the local name for a place in the Arusha Region in the north of Tanzania.

Local legend

Legend has it that a man known as Zuberi was walking from Arusha to the Town of Mto wa Mbu, near Lake Manyara, but failed to arrive at his destination. His relatives searched for him, but unfortunately some lions found him first; all that remained at this spot was his leg.{{cite book | author = East African Community | title = Official Gazette of the East African Community, Volume 6, Issues 1-5 | pages = | oclc = 9409310 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=LLLJaOXGFikC}}
