Itigi District, Administrative district in Singida Region, Tanzania
Itigi District is an administrative area in central Tanzania's Singida Region that covers a large highland territory. The area combines sparsely populated rural zones with several smaller settlements and serves as a center for local government and trade.
The district was established as an independent administrative unit in 2015 following its separation from Manyoni District. This administrative reform aimed to enable better local governance and improved access to services for the population.
The district is home to several communities including the Wagogo and Wanyamwezi, who maintain their crafts and local customs in daily village life. These traditions shape the cultural rhythm found in local markets and settlements throughout the region.
Visitors should expect limited infrastructure in rural areas with many locations accessible only by dirt roads during certain seasons. Travel through the district is most reliable during the dry season when road conditions are more stable.
The area is known for its Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi ecosystem zones that harbor important wildlife conservation areas. These reserves attract visitors seeking a more remote safari experience away from better-known parks.
