Kabwanga (a nickname for the hyena) is a traditional mancala game of the Bantu Botatwe ("Three Peoples") in Zambia, who are concentrated in the south of the country. The term "Bantu Botatwe" was introduced by Father J. Torrend, S.J., in 1921 to designate a closely related cluster of Zambian languages and originally comprised the Tonga, Ila and Lenje. Later authors included many more tribes, which they believed to be linguistically associated, such as the Kaonde, Lumbu, Mbala, Soli, Subiya and Totela, or thought that the term is obsolete.

Like many other four-rank games, Kabwanga was first described by J. H. Chaplin in 1956 in "A Note on Mancala Games in Northern Rhodesia".
