About Iringa: The city of Iringa is about 300 miles from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Home of the Hehe people, the town was initially built as a military base by the Germans in the 1890s as they sought to oppress the Hehe, led by the brave Chief Mkwawu. Today, Iringa is a thriving city populated by over 100,000 people.
