The Mmari dynasty also known as House of Mmari (c. 1860s – 1900)(Mangi Ukoo Mmari in Kisiha), (Ufalme wa Mmari, in Swahili) was a pre-colonial, Chaggan royal house that has reigned over the Chagga state of the Siha (Kibongoto) of current day north-west Kilimanjaro Region for most of the 19th until the end of the century with the execution of Mangi Ngalami and the Great Hanging at Old Moshi on 2 March 1900 by the German colonial forces.
