Thats a very handsome spear. Certianly East African. Is the midrid in any way like a squoshed Z in form? It might be from what was Buganda.

No it is a pronounced median ridge with a rather rounded profile.

This is an older Masai (or nearby tribe) spear, which would normally have a long iron socketed butt. Someone has wrapped wire round the lower end. Not sure from the photo if there is wood or iron below the wire wrapping ?
