Iringa Airport — Nduli, Tanzania

IRI designates Iringa Airport, located at Nduli near Iringa town in the southern highlands of Tanzania. The airport serves a fertile agricultural region known for tea, tobacco, and maize farming, as well as proximity to Ruaha National Park, one of Tanzania's larger wildlife reserves. IRI provides a smaller alternative to Dar es Salaam for travelers heading toward the highlands or connecting onward to safari destinations, though scheduled service can be limited and subject to seasonal demand. The airfield's short runway and modest facilities reflect its status as a regional airstrip rather than an international gateway. For tourists and researchers focused on Ruaha's ecosystems, IRI often functions as the closest practical air access point in this cooler, elevated part of Tanzania.
