Notes

1. ^
   Sources vary as to the exact timescale of the migration of Khoisan from Southern Africa. Nurse & Spear say "as long as twenty thousand years ago".[84]
2. ^
   The Bantu expansion from West Africa likely happened in several stages.[85] Sources vary as to the exact timescale of the arrival of Bantu people to East Africa. Nurse & Spear say from "twenty-five hundred years ago".[84] Ndembwike says 100–200 AD.[86]
3. ^
   Several durations are given by sources, including 38,[87][88] 40[89] and 45[90] minutes, but the 38 minute duration is the most often quoted. The variation is due to confusion over what actually constitutes the start and end of a war. Some sources take the start of the war as the order to open fire at 09:00 and some with the start of actual firing at 09:02. The end of the war is usually put at 09:40 when the last shots were fired and the palace flag struck, but some sources place it at 09:45. The logbooks of the British ships also suffer from this with St George indicating that cease-fire was called and Khalid entered the German consulate at 09:35, Thrush at 09:40, Racoon at 09:41 and Philomel and Sparrow at 09:45.[91]
4. ^
   There is no exact figure for the number of deaths in the Maji Maji Rebellion. German officials at the time estimated 75,000.[92] Most sources say over 200,000.[92][93][94]
