Largest national park in East Africa set in Tanzania
Apolinari Tairo - eTN TanzaniaDecember 5, 2019 22:07

The President of Tanzania has signed into a law a proposal endorsed by the Tanzanian parliament to establish the largest national park in East Africa.

The Tanzanian President, Dr. John Magufuli had signed the document recently after the Tanzanian parliament approved a proposal on September 10th this year to establish the new park that will cover some 30,893 square kilometres and the largest photographic safaris national park in East Africa.

The new park now under development has been named Nyerere National Park to honor the first Tanzanian President, Julius Nyerere. Counted as the largest photographic safari wildlife park in East Africa, Nyerere National Park was carved out from the Selous Game Reserve in southern Tanzania.

After signing the document, wildlife conservation authorities are now working to develop the area into a full-fledged photographic safari national park. This will bring the number of protected photographic wildlife safari parks under the management of Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) to 22.

Nyerere National Park will be among the largest wildlife parks on the African continent with relatively undisturbed ecological and biological processes with a diverse range of wild animals for photographic safaris.

In July of this year, President Magufuli directed the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism to split the Selous Game Reserve into a national park and game reserve. Selous Game Reserve covers 55,000 square kilometers and is the oldest and largest wildlife conserved area in Africa.

President Magufuli said that the Selous Game Reserve was not economically viable to benefit Tanzania through tourism other than a few hunting safari companies operating there with a limited number of photographic safari operators.
Magufuli said earlier that there were 47 hunting blocks and several lodges in the Selous Game Reserve charging up to US$3,000 per night of which the government gets nothing or just a few peanuts through tourism taxes.

The Selous Game Reserve generates about US$6 million per year mostly from wildlife hunting safaris.

This new national park is mostly famous for having the biggest populations of hippos, elephants, lions, wild dogs, and rhinos. It is also famous for boating safaris.

President Magufuli also signed documents into law to establish Kigosi National Park (7,460 square kilometers) and Ugalla National Park (3,865 square kilometers) in the Western Tanzania tourist circuit.

After establishment of the new parks, Tanzania will rank as the second tourist destination in Africa to own and manage a good number of wildlife protected national parks after South Africa.

Currently, Tanzania is developed with 4 tourist zones which are the Northern, Coastal, Southern, and Western circuits. The Northern Circuit is fully developed with key tourist facilities which pull most of its tourists visiting Tanzania every year with high-end tourist revenue.

Serengeti National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro have been rated as premium parks. Foreign tourists pay US$ 60 each per day to visit inside the Serengeti National Park, while those climbing Mount Kilimanjaro pay US$70 each per day to spend time on the mountain.

The Gombe and Mahale Chimpanzee parks in Western Tanzania are the other premium parks charging a daily fee for visiting in the amount of US$100 and US$80 respectively.
Tarangire, Arusha, and Lake Manyara – all in Northern Tanzania – have their foreign visitors pay US$45 per day.

Silver parks, or the less-visited ones, are located in the Southern Tanzania tourist circuit and in the Western Zone. Foreign visitors to these parks pay a daily fee of US$30 each.

KLM LAUNCH ITS FIRST BOEING 787-10 AT KIA

Royal Dutch Airline, KLM has launch its first brand new Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner to Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) direct from Amsterdam, offering a ray of hope to a Tanzania's multi-billion dollar tourism industry on Tuesday 2nd of July 2019.

The maiden landing of the most touted luxurious plane at KIA, a major gateway to Tanzania's northern tourism circuit, with 344 tourists from across Europe, has essentially graced the onset of the tourism high season.

It was greeted with a water salute after having successfully touched the Kilimanjaro airport runway at 7:40 p.m East African Time, as the Kilimanjaro Regional Commissioner, Dr. Annah Mghwira leading the crowd to cheer the historic landing of the aircraft.

KLM is the first foreign registered airline to operate the B787-10 aircraft at KIA. The aircraft has the same efficient engines as the 787-9. The combination of these engines with the use of lighter materials in the 787-10 means it produces lower carbon emissions and less noise.

"The 787-10's design is highly sophisticated, with large windows and a spacious interior providing much more room and comfort" Dr Mghwira expressed Tanzania's government appreciation to KLM for the great honor of deploying its first new Dreamliner to land at KIA with such considerable number of tourists at the onset of high tourism season.

"This is a vote of confident from KLM and we are reciprocating in kind as we will ensure all holiday-makers are enjoying our attractions hustle free," she explained, underscoring the need for tour operators to grab the opportunity for offering the tourists the best services.

World's 'oldest rhino' dies in Tanzania aged 57
16 hours ago

The 57-year-old rhino is believed to have died of natural causes, according to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority. In the wild, rhinos generally reach an age between 37 and 43.
Fausta, a female black rhino, died in Tanzania on December 27 at the age of 57, the authorities in Ngorongoro, where the animal had lived, said in a statement on Saturday.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority said the rhino was the oldest in the world.

"Records show that Fausta lived longer than any rhino in the world and survived in the Ngorongoro, free-ranging, for more than 54 years" before she was moved to a sanctuary in 2016, said the statement.

"Fausta was first located in the Ngorongoro crater in 1965 by a scientist from the University of Dar Es Salaam, at the age of between three and four years," the statement added. "Her health began to deteriorate in 2016, when we were forced to put the animal in captivity, after several attacks from hyena and severe wounds thereafter."

In 2017, Sana, the oldest white rhino at the time, died in captivity at the La Planete Sauvage Zoological Park in France.

The black rhinoceros, also known as the hook-lipped rhino, is native to eastern and southern Africa. Although it is referred to as "black," specimens' colors can range from brown to grey.

Zoologists estimate the life expectancy of rhinos to be between 37 and 43 years in the wild, while they can live longer in captivity.
