Singida has two lakes, Lake Singida and Lake Kindai. The lakes attract pelicans, flamingoes and other water birds. Huge granite boulders also dot the region.


Iramba district in the north, and Manyoni district in the south are borders by tourist hot-spots of Tanzania such as the Manyara region, in the north, and Iringa – Ruaha, in the south. This makes Singida as a strategic stop over to the National Parks.
