ABOUT SINGIDA.
Singida is located in central
Tanzania. It a small colorful town, with warm
friendly people. The town has a certain charm.
The bustle in the market and surrounding small
business streets, gives the place a lively feel.
It also has a few local restaurants and bars.
Singida
is a small town, and is therefore relatively
safe. Standard precautions should be taken
against petty theft, but incidents are few and
far between. As like many western small towns,
you will quickly get to know your favorite
newspaper or fruit vendor by name, and enjoy all
the benefits of a closely knit community.
The area surrounding
Singida has two lakes, lake Singida and Lake
Kindai, which attracts pelicans, Flamingoes and
wild birds. Huge granite boulders also dot the
region. The locals also
take their goats and cows to drink water at the
lakes. Singida is classed as semi-arid with no
extremes of temperature. It is dry most of the
time with total annual rainfall of 660mm,
falling in two periods of the year. At night and in
the early morning it can be quite cool.
