Officials believe it will create business opportunities and improve services for visitors. The gate connects the Central and Northern zones, facilitating easier access for tourists traveling from various regions, including Dodoma and Singida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania. <\/strong> <\/span>THE opening of the Mamire Gate as a new entry point to Tarangire National Park is expected to boost revenue collection, create business opportunities, and improve access to tourism services through Babati District in Manyara Region.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking today, April 23, 2026, at the gate, Senior Assistant Commissioner for Conservation and Head of the Northern Zone, Dr Beatrice Kessy, said the gate\u2014located on the western side of the park\u2014will act as a catalyst for tourism growth and job creation for communities surrounding the park.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that the gate will serve as an important link between the Central and Northern zones, making it easier for tourists from regions such as Dodoma, Singida, and Manyara to access the park.<\/p>\n<p>Kessy also noted that tourists traveling from Dar es Salaam can now use the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to reach Dodoma and then continue by road to Tarangire via Babati. This is a shift from the previous route, where visitors had to pass through Arusha.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the implementation of the project, Conservation Officer and Project Supervisor, Goodluck Busumbila, said the Government, through the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA), allocated more than 3.921bn\/- for the construction of the gate.<\/p>\n<p>Tarangire National Park, established in 1970, is renowned for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. The park is a vital part of Tanzania&#8217;s tourism sector, attracting visitors from around the globe. The opening of the Mamire Gate represents a significant investment in infrastructure aimed at improving accessibility and boosting the local economy through increased tourist traffic. This development aligns with Tanzania&#8217;s broader efforts to enhance its tourism offerings and support surrounding communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Tanzania<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know The newly opened Mamire Gate at Tarangire National Park is set to enhance tourism access and revenue in Tanzania.
