Iringa Boma

A restored German colonial boma in Iringa town – regional museum, craft displays, and a gateway to understanding Hehe history and the southern highlands.

The Iringa Boma was built during the German colonial period and today houses exhibitions on regional history, traditional crafts, and the story of the Hehe people.

Located in central Iringa, it is an ideal first stop before visiting Gangilonga Rock, Isimila, or the Chief Mkwawa Museum at Kalenga.

Wild Gaze Safaris is based in Iringa – we regularly include the Boma on town walks and southern circuit cultural introductions.
