Handeni is a town in the Tanga Region of north-eastern Tanzania, in the Handeni Urban District, and is the capital of both Handeni Town Council and Handeni District. The 2022 national census estimated the population of the town council at 108,968. A paved secondary road connects Handeni with Korogwe to the north-east and with Mkata to the south-east, and both of those lie on the T2 trunk road from Dar es Salaam to Arusha, which is how the town is linked to the rest of the country. The article notes that although the place is listed among the cities of Tanzania, it is in practice a small township serving the surrounding district.
