About Iringa & Southern Highlands
Highland gateway to Ruaha
The Southern Highlands, gateway to Ruaha
Iringa and the Southern Highlands are Tanzania’s cool, upland heart — a handsome old town on a rocky plateau, gateway to Ruaha and the Isimila Stone Age site, wrapped in farmland and big views.
It is the natural base from which to continue into the southern parks, and a welcome change of pace from the plains.
