There are many ways. Here's a good way:
Ham Jambo, wote? (or Ham jambo nyote?). This is a very common greeting and means "You don't have any problems, do you?" The answer by everyone is Hatu jambo: we don't have any problems.
Nyote means all of you (plural), but wote is often substituted with the same meaning (it's actually third-person plural, but very often used in the second person).. Neither word is actually needed, and in fact would rarely be used, be cause Ham jambo contains the meaning of you plural.
The following paragraph was added later by a different contributor. If one used "shikamoo" to greet more than one elder, it would be in the plural form: "shikamooni" However, it is generally considered more polite to greet each elder separately.
In addition, it also depends on who you are addressing, for example if you are talking to elders in some sense like age or rank or generally a more respectable way of saying hello everyone you would say Shikamoo which will be replied to by Marahaba.
