Shumba inoverengwa seimwe yemhuka ine huwandu huri huderera kunyanya munzvimbo dziri kuMadokero eAfurika. Kutambanuka kuri kuita nzvimbo dzinogarwa nevanhu ndicho chimwe chikonzero chiri kuita huwandu hweshumba huderere. Varimi vane mhuka dzavo havafare kana zvipfuyo izvi zvichidyiwa neshumba.
Shumba dzinorarama makore gumi kusvika gumi nemana (10-14) kana dziri musango. Kana dzakatenherwa dzinorarama makore akati rebeyi anganosvika makumi maviri (20). Shumba hono hadzirarame makore anopfuura gumi kana dziri musango nokuda kwekurwa kwadzinogaro ita dzichitanda nzvari.
Shumba dzinowanikwa mumakura eSavanna asina miti yakawanda, asi dzimwe nguva dzinopinda murimuka mumasango makuru. Mhuka idzi dzinogara mumatanga anenge aine nzvari dzine ukama, vana veshumba, nehono shomane. Vanotarira shumba vanoti hadzinyanye kuvhima vanhu.
