Between Lake Natron and the North Serengeti are the Sonjo, little known but with an impressive cultural wealth. The term Sonjo is the name given to the people by the Maasai. Group members prefer to call themselves the Batemi people. The Sonjo people speak Sonjo, a Bantu language. They refer to it as Kitemi or Gitemi. The Sonjo are known for their use of irrigation systems in agriculture. They have consequently been linked by some historians with the Engaruka complex, situated some 60 miles to the southeast.
