Tanzania invests £1M to grow remote Western Safari Circuit
The Tanzanian government has announced a £1.08 million investment to develop infrastructure at Ibanda-Kyerwa National Park in the Kagera Region. This move aims to boost the western tourism circuit, less popular than the northern circuit, reflecting the country’s commitment to enhancing tourism.
Musa Juma Kuji, Conservation Commissioner at Tanzania National Parks, revealed plans for a modern entrance complex and staff housing. The project, currently 55% complete, includes new offices, road networks, and essential facilities.
The initiative, expected to finish by November, will improve operational efficiency and visitor experience. It also emphasises sustainable conservation efforts for future generations. Kuji praised park officers and rangers as the "pillar" of conservation, assuring them of their rights to education, allowances, and career advancement.
