The Isimila Stone
Age Site is a historically rich archeological site that is located outside of
the town of Iringa. Archaeologists have found tools, stone artifacts and bones
in a dry bed that was once a shallow lake from what they believe were from the early
hominoids that occupied the area. The site preserves artifacts that give a
glimpse on the lives and activities of early human and animal civilization, and
has beautiful granite rock relieves. A walk through the canons can be booked
via a travel agency, and a tour will consist of a brief introduction to the
formation of the site and an overview of the fossils and tools displayed before
going on a scenic walk through the canyon. The tour takes about 3 hours, and it
usually starts early in the morning before temperatures start to soar. Tours
can be booked through a travel agency.
