Business Report By Leo Odera omolo In kisumu City.
REPORTS emerging from Dar Es Salaam say Kenya and Tanzania are at loggerheads following Dar’s blocking or refusing to open Bologonja Sand River entry point, into the world famous Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania.
Tanzania says it risks environmental degradation and damage to the world famous Serengeti National Park as a result of massive tourist flow from Kenya.
Officials from the Tanzania Tourist Board, the country’s official tourist marketing and promotion institution, said there was no way crossing point into Serengeti National Park would be opened via Bologonja Sand River entry point.
The TTB managing director, Peter Mwenguo, was quoted this week by the EASTAFRICAN weekly as saying that Sand River Bologonja crossing point will remain closed. He said he had already communicated this information to all diplomatic missions within the country and overseas, as well as tourist representatives, tour operators and travel agents.
This particular entry point was closed by the government of the late Mwalim Julius Kambarage Nyerere in 1977 after the collapse of the first East African Community {1967-1977].
The TTB’s CEO said the Bologonja border entry point will remain closed despite claims by the Kenya Association of Tourist {KATO} that it would open soon after successful negotiations and discussions between the two governments.
Tanzania’s Deputy Minister for Tourism and Natural Resources, Ezekiel Maige, added his voice to the issue when he confirmed that his country has no intention of reopening the border crossing point at this time, as jointly agreed earlier with Kenyan leaders., adding that there is a committee, which is dealing with the issue. But he insisted that the border will remain closed for environmental reasons.
The latest Tanzania stance is contrary to the what Kenyan tourist operators were made to believe. Kenya’s Minister for Tourism and Wildlife, Najib Balala, reacted angrily, saying that the continued closure of the Bologonja entry point by Tanzania was not in the spirit of the East African Community.
“A lot of progress has been made in tourism within the EAC, but the hesitation by Tanzania – especially on its border posts- is worrying”, Balala said. Maige countered from Dar Es Salaam ,saying, ”The fragile ecosystem of the area, which is a World Heritage Site, cannot be sacrificed for the mere purpose of shortening the route between Maasai Mara and Serengeti, which is also a crossing point for wildlife during the annual migration”.
Officials of the TTB are arguing that according to the Tourism Co-operation Agreement, signed by Tanzania and Kenya, following the Arusha Declaration, Article X[b}, tourists shall be transported in and out of each country through designated border posts or regional towns.
The Chief Executive of KATO, Mr Fred Kaigua, had earlier in an e-mail message to KATO members in September this year said, the decision to open the Bologonja-Sand River entry point would dramatically reduce the travel time between the Maasai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It would also signify a new official border crossing between Kenya and Tanzania.
“Our initial inquiries to confirm the actual situation on the ground reveal that there is full deployment of immigration staff on the Kenyan side at Sand River Bologonja, whereas they are yet to be deployed on the Tanzanian side,” reads the Kato message.
In Dar Es Salaam, however, the TTB officials said the circular from KATO was misleading, since no agreement had been reached to open the border point. The officials added that the KATO circular would create confusion, and inconvenience tourists visiting Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya.
The only officially designated border point currently used by all tour operators from Tanzania and Kenya is Isebania-Sirari, outside the Serengeti National Park.
“The Tanzania Tourist Board would like to inform all diplomatic missions within and overseas, tourist representatives, tour operators, travel agents, operators of tourist accommodation establishments, transporters, tourists and the public ,that the Sand River and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is not open”, the TTB Communications says.
According to TTB officials, the authorized border crossing points currently are Namanga, Sirari-Isebania, Holili-Taveta, and Horooro-Lungalunga {Tanzania side listed first}.
Since the Bologonja entry point between Kenya and Tanzania was closed 32 years ago, Kenya tour operators have been engaged in intensive lobbying for its reopening, in order to allow their vehicles to enter the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and other parks on the northern Tanzania Tourist circuit.
Tour operators in Tanzania, on the other hand, claim that opening the controversial border point could kill the country’s tourism as hundreds of Kenyan tourist vehicles would enter Tanzania for game drives during the day and return to Kenya in the evening.
Serengeti is the source of the spectacular annual migration of over one million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras to and from the Mara.
The wildebeest spend nine to ten months roaming the 14,763 square kilometers plains of Serengeti. There are less than 12 tourist hotels, lodges and tented camps inside Serengeti National Park. These have been designed to accommodate an optimum number of people to avoid mass tourism.
On the Kenya side, there are over 40 properties {lodges and camps} around the Maasai Mara and nine lodges inside. The reserve hosts many more tourists and tour vehicles.
In August this year, the United Nations Education,Science and Cultural Organisation {UNESCO} raised concerns over increasing human activity in the Serengeti National Park as a result of more border crossing emanating from tourism as practiced in neighboring Kenya.

Unlike tours to many other holiday destinations the World, Kenya Tanzania Uganda tours requires input from an experienced African tour Agent specialist, specially a local Safari Tour Agency. Non-African safari Operators and travel agencies with all due respect are not intimately familiar with local etiquette conditions and are more geared to broke or sell safaris. Local African safari tour agents are far better equipped to assist with your safari, as they are involved with the logistics from planning to the actual operation, you will have someone to contact while you are traveling and are never alone. We strongly advise tourists against putting together a safari itinerary yourself through Google or yahoo Internet research and then booking direct with a variety of safari tented Camp, Safari Lodges and beach hotels etc. For most people, an African safari is one of the most expensive holidays they will take, so it pays to seek the expertise of a holiday travel agent.

The quality of your safari experience has everything to do with the quality of the tour guide who leads your safari. We will get an experienced, knowledgeable, English-speaking guide who knows what makes a safari special, and communicates with professionalism and enthusiasm. If you leave this decision to chance and just go with the safari company Kenya Tanzania Uganda that seems the best or the cheapest you might end up in a situation like Alex and Alicia Medov who went on safari in Tanzania and chose their Tanzania safari company by gut instinct and price. They were the only two in the safari vehicle on this safari but things started to go downhill fast when they asked their driver and guide questions and he would only answer in monosyllabic grunts and sometimes not at all. And then on the way to the Serengeti from Nairobi he began to visit his relatives while Alex and Alicia had to sit fuming in the safari vehicle. To make matters worse when they finally did reach the Serengeti he would drive straight at the wildlife as if he was going to run them over and then stop at the last moment. And finally on the way back to Nairobi via Arusha he did run over and kill a goat that was crossing the road, making no attempt to swerve or slow down. Beware. There are a few shoestring Safari operators like this out there but this one has fortunately since closed down.
African Safaris and Adventures Tour guides
One of the most important parts of a tour guide’s job on a Kenya Tanzania Uganda safari holiday is educating clients on the African tour. This requires hours of continuing education, research and hands-on experience learning the ins and outs of the area they are leading safaris tour in. This may include researching wildlife life, area history, culture and environmental factors that make the tour area different. Because Kenya Uganda, Tanzania tour safaris expose the tourists to a fragile environment, a large part of a safari tour guide’s day is spent on safety, It is important that the Africa tour guide take the necessary precautions to protect their participants from potential hazards such as poisonous or dangerous animals. The safari tour guide must also take the necessary safety steps to protect the animals and environment they tour in. The safety precautions needed may include safety training in respect to contact with wild animals, adequate travel equipment and tour vehicles to withstand animal attacks, and substantial knowledge of how animals react to stimuli they do not normally encounter in their natural
Environment. Measures for environmental protection may include trash management, ecologically sound vehicles, as well as using techniques that allow the clients to get close
to the animals without disturbing their natural behaviors. A Kenya Tanzania Uganda tour guide must also be prepared for any emergency. Any Uganda Tanzania Kenya tour company and safari operators will require that the tour guide be first-aid certified as well as carry a first-aid kit in their vehicle at all times. The largest part of a safari tour guide’s day is the actual leading of tours and safaris, Depending on the area they operate in, tours can last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. A tour guide on safari will spend her day interacting with tourists of various ages, beliefs, races and personality types. Each tour may have a different dynamic, requiring the travel guide to be flexible and amiable. It is the tour guide’s responsibility to not only take their clients near wildlife, but they must also be able and willing to answer any questions that their clients may have. A typical tour consists of leading the clients through the habitat where the animals are and describing the behavior, lifestyle, and challenges of each animal species, plant or insect.
