Exploring Singida yielded few familiar scenes in the town which has expanded enormously since 1966. The Urban district has a population of about 120,000, and in the 1960s I imagined it was about 5,000, but that's just what it felt like.

Mosque that was under construction in 1965

Nyaturu houses outside town.
