Ibungilo

Ibungilo is a word from the Kiyansi language, spoken primarily in Tanzania. It refers to a specific type of traditional dwelling or shelter. More specifically, "Ibungilo" typically describes a temporary shelter, often constructed from readily available natural materials like branches, leaves, and grasses. These structures are typically built for short-term use, such as during hunting trips, agricultural activities, or temporary displacement. The construction is generally simple, prioritizing functionality and ease of construction over permanence or elaborate design. The term encompasses both the physical structure and, sometimes, the temporary nature of the activity associated with its use.
