A natural bridge where Chief Mkwawa's mother drowned herself into the Ruaha river.

Chief Mkwawa fled to Ugogo and Mwamubambe ruled Uhehe. Chief Mkwawa later returned and organized an uprising that kicked out the then ruler,Mwamubambe. Mwamubambe and many of his forces were killed. This battle took place at Lundamatwe meaning "the place where many heads are piled up". This took place around 1879-1881.
