Mama is a polite address for women. In Tanzania the word bibi means grandmother and is a polite address to older women. "Bibi" is not widely used this way in other countries.

There is no word that means "Mrs.," but in Tanzania many people have begun to use Mama, e.g., Mama Kikwete (Mrs. Kikwete). It's just as common to use the English in East Africa: Huyu ni Mrs. Fulani: this is Mrs. Fulani.
