What you will see
Iringa is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 14:09:00 local time, the Moon hides 12.8% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 13:16:06 and ends at 14:58:07, 1 h 42 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 57° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Iringa.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,536 km north-east of Iringa.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Bandarbeyla, about 2,547 km north-east, where totality lasts 2 m 11 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
