Kisarawe II or unofficially East Kisarawe (Kata ya Kisarawe, in Swahili) is an administrative ward in the Kigamboni district of the Dar es Salaam Region of Tanzania. The Kibada and Mjimwema form the ward's northern border. East is Somangila. Pembamnazi borders it to the south. Toangoma in the Temeke District, as well as Vianzi and Vikindu in the Pwani Region's Mkuranga District, border the west. Since Kisarawe II is the district's top agricultural producer, it is known as Kigamboni's "ricebowl" and "food basket".[1] In 2016 the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics report there were 10,401 people in the ward, from 8,306 in 2012.[2][3]
