Visit Iringa Region

The Iringa Region in Tanzania is full of natural beauty, wildlife and history. Located in the southern highlands of Tanzania, this region offers spectacular views of Africa's Great Rift Valley. Visitors can explore the unique ecology in the Nduli Forest Reserve and Udzungwa Mountains National Park. The local culture and traditions are preserved through various tribal villages located throughout Iringa Region where visitors can observe traditional dance performances.

A highlight for many visitors is a trip to Mikumi National Park, one of Tanzania's premier game parks for spotting African wildlife such as lions, elephants, giraffes and hippos. For those looking to experience more ancient history, there are several archaeological sites including Isimila Stone Age Site which contains thousands of fossils from over 60 species that lived during the Middle Stone Age some 200-300 thousand years ago.

For a truly unique experience make sure to visit Ngosi Village - known as "the village without walls" - where locals continue their fishing tradition surrounded by baobab trees on Lake Nyasa (also called Lake Malawi). Finally be sure to end your journey with a visit to Vwawa village near Ruaha National Park - famously known for its stone houses built without cement or mortar over 150 years ago!
