This was an interesting visit and I am grateful for the great hospitality. I had a lot of time to take in the knowledge and time to take pictures as well. The Iringa Boma is only a 3 minutes walk from the clock tower and offers a great history of Iringa and its people. Also on the top floor you can buy a beautiful woven basket and support the ladies that pour their hearts out into doing this. The Boma also offers a cafe and a souvenir shop that I found quite adequate. Be sure to visit the neighboring craft shops too π
I recomend people to visit this Mkwawa Museum. By visiting this place you will learn alot about Iringa region,
A must go if you are interested in how Iringa became to what today is. You will learn about German occupation, He He insurrection commanded Chief Mkwawa by and British occupation.
The Boma in one of the oldest remaining buildings in Iringa, constructed around 1900 by the German colonial regime to serve as a military hospital. German colonial architecture combined African, Swahili and European styles. After the First World War the British made it their regional administrative centre. From Tanzaniaβs independence in 1961 until 2014 it was in use as Regional and District administration office offering civil services. Beginning in 2014 the building was completely renovated and restored to its original design as part of the fahari yetu Project under the University of Iringa. After being re-opened in 2016, Iringa Boma now fulfils its function as a regional museum and cultural centre.Reflects the history and local culture of Iringa in its exhibits.To call this building boma is pure fantasy and no fact! I think its done to make it interesting.The original boma of the Germans is situated behind the Police Station.
Every region has history which describes the region well ,Iringa Boma is one of the palce which carries the history of people,ruling system in its societies before colonial era,colonial era as well post colonial or during independence.when you visit this place you will learn alot from the exhibition place,on the other side you will enjoy simple meal ,tea or coffee at your preference.
Its a good place and very attractive especially in vikapubomba company office
Though its in the city centre of lringa the place is quiet. The museum gives you a feel of what life was in Iringa during the German colonial period. You can use this place for meetings or appointments. I have been to this place for meetings and appointments several times

It is a nice historical museum where you can get information about Mkwawa, German and British colonial era.
It is a nice place!
The building itself is quite charming but could have done without the obnoxious signboard. The museum seemed bare and the cafe had microwavable foods. Had high expectations before visiting the place but was disappointed.
I love that the government decided to place a museum here after all that time. The place tells you a story of iringa and the culture of people of iringa.
Its good place for visitors to makes tour because it attract and give them or tressed them on what happened and what kinda of life our ancestors were lived
The place is good ..located in centre of the city with old design buildings that adds more attractive features of its own good and with a lot of activities goin on outside that is largely by the natives and a bit some new comers ...Its cool out there

Visit the boma while your in Iringa and get to hear out the great history of Iringa people and their culture. Indeed you will be amaized!!
A nice renovated Museum. One of the few in Tanzania, where the cleanliness and portrays explain by themselves.
This place is cool and expresses the africanity of the African especially HEHE tribe, but the museum needs fund so that to elaborate and upgrade the skills on keeping it for next generations and to find up the missing informations
A must visit location once you are in Iringa. The History of Mkwawa and Iringa is well documented and narrated.
