First tourist aircraft landing at Mtemere Airstrip inside Nyerere National Park, marking a major milestone in Tanzania’s tourism and aviation development. A new chapter has officially begun in Tanzania’s tourism sector as the Mtemere Airstrip, located within Nyerere National Park, received its first aircraft carrying more than ten tourists since its inauguration on February 11, 2026. The milestone follows the completion of domestic and international aviation safety and security procedures for passengers, aircraft, and airport operations. Witnessing the historic landing on May 6, 2026, Assistant Commissioner for Conservation, Ephraim Mwangomo, stated that the operationalization of the airstrip marks a major breakthrough in air connectivity and comes at a strategic time ahead of the upcoming high tourism season. He noted that the upgraded facility has been constructed with a durable all-weather surface, enabling aircraft to land throughout the year during both dry and rainy seasons. Previously, adverse weather conditions frequently disrupted flights, limiting tourist arrivals and affecting tourism revenues. Mr. Mwangomo also expressed appreciation to the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, H.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan, for supporting the modernization of the airstrip and related tourism infrastructure, including cottages, picnic sites, machinery, and road networks. The Mtemere Airstrip is among the largest aviation facilities within Tanzania’s national parks and features a control tower, a 1.8-kilometre runway, a 300-metre lasser, a 60-metre stopway, and a 300-metre clearway. The runway has been constructed using environmentally friendly polymer technology designed to prevent water retention and improve operational efficiency. Meanwhile, Senior Conservation Officer Idrisa Washington stated that airport operations are conducted in compliance with standards set by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority and the International Civil Aviation Organization, confirming that Mtemere has fully met the required international aviation standards and is now ready for regular flight operations.

Ashatu Kijaji addressing EAC ministers during the Sectoral Council on Environment and Natural Resources meeting in Arusha, advocating for stronger regional collaboration on sustainability and climate action. **Tanzania Calls for Enhanced Regional Cooperation on Natural Resource Management within EAC** The United Republic of Tanzania has called on Partner States of the East African Community to strengthen regional collaboration in the protection and sustainable management of the environment and natural resources, emphasizing the need for coordinated action to address shared challenges for the benefit of all citizens across the region. The call was made by the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Ashatu Kijaji, during the opening of the 11th Sectoral Council of Ministers on Environment and Natural Resources (SCENR), held on April 23, 2026, in Arusha. The meeting focused on reviewing progress in implementing previous Council decisions that remain outstanding. In her remarks, Dr. Kijaji noted that despite East Africa’s rich endowment of natural resources—including forests, wildlife, rivers, major lakes, and the Indian Ocean coastline—these assets continue to face significant threats driven by climate change, including biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and unsustainable resource use. “Without decisive and coordinated action, the sustainability of these resources will be at risk, potentially undermining food security, tourism revenues, and the economic stability of our countries,” she emphasized. She further highlighted that key economic sectors dependent on natural resources—such as tourism, agriculture, fisheries, and energy—play a critical role in the socio-economic development of EAC Partner States. Tourism alone contributes, on average, more than 10 percent of GDP in some member countries, while generating millions of direct and indirect jobs across the region. Dr. Kijaji outlined priority areas requiring enhanced cooperation, including policy and regulatory harmonization, mobilization of climate finance, advancement of the blue economy, combating environmental degradation, and strengthening public awareness initiatives. The meeting, which followed technical and permanent secretaries’ sessions held from April 20–22, 2026, also addressed key thematic areas such as climate change, water and ecosystems, marine and blue economy, pollution control, and international environmental agreements. Tanzania’s delegation was led by Dr. Kijaji and included the Minister of State in the Office of the Vice President – Zanzibar, Hamis Hassan; the Deputy Minister in the Vice President’s Office (Union and Environment), Reuben Kwagirwa; the Deputy Minister for Water, Kundo Mathew; alongside other senior government officials.
