Provinces like these are scattered throughout Africa, with natives numbering 4000 in every province, with high aggression causing them to rise up constantly*, and with tactics and morale bonuses that puts the African nations to shame (I lost 850 troops to Busoga that I conquered, but these natives cost me 2000 units). Even with my mostly min-maxed setup (112.5% discipline) I would be unable to get to the east coast and back with my army intact.
This "mechanic" makes for some pretty absurd in-game scenarios in Africa, where wars are often decided by armies walking or retreating into native stacks and getting wiped by them.
For the record, I don't have a problem with native sizes or the fact that they rise up when moved through, but the rate of occurrence and the quality of their armies are both way too high.
* There's no published formula for aggression to chance to rise up during movement that I could find, but the province rose up 5 out of 6 times that I tested.
