TESTING TANZANIAN ELECTRIC TRAIN: FIRST TRAIN ???? EVER IN EAST AFRICA!/ TRC RELI TV
Tanzania testa it's first electric train
The Tanzania Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is a railway system, under construction, linking the country to the neighboring countries of Rwanda and Uganda, and through these two, to Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The new Tanzania SGR, is intended to replace the old, inefficient metre-gauge railway system and reduce road congestion. It is expected to decrease freight costs by 40%. Each freight train is expected to transport up to 10,000 tonnes, equivalent to 500 lorry-loads.
The project is being implemented in 5 phases: 202km Phase 1 (Dar es Salaam–Morogoro) Section, 348km Phase 2 (Morogoro–Makutopora) Section, 294km Phase 3 (Makutopora–Tabora) Section; 130km Phase 4 (Tabora-Isaka) Section, and 341km Phase 5 (Isaka–Mwanza) Section.
The Tanzania Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is a railway system, under construction.
Timeline
2017
The 202km Phase 1 (Dar es Salaam–Morogoro) Section was contracted to a 50/50 consortium of Yapi Merkezi of Turkey and Mota-Engil of Portugal. Construction began in April.
2018
In September, the government secured a US $1.46bn soft loan from Standard Chartered Bank, for the funding of Phases 1 and 2, a total of 550km. Section 2 was also contracted to the Yapi Merkezi and Mota-Engil consortium. This section stretches from Morogoro through Dodoma to Singida. The stations after Morogoro will be Mkata, Kilosa, Kidete, Gulwe, Igunda, Dodoma, Bahi and Makutopora.
2020
By June 2020 the work was 82% complete. This section will have six stations: Dar es Salaam, Pugu, Soga, Ruvu, Ngerengere and Morogoro.
In late November, Tanzania Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa announced that phase 1 of the SGR from Dar es Salaam–Morogoro was 90% complete and was on course for completion within the agreed time limits. What remained for the Morogoro SGR station is the installation of electricity transmission lines. According to the PM the rail service will begin next April.
The construction of a 220 kV, main power transmission line for the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) train, Dar es Salaam-Morogoro segment, is complete with the project reaching 100%. The transmission line covers a total of 159km from the main Kinyerezi centre to Morogoro Region.
Meanwhile, plans for the second phase project; a 420km power transmission line with 220 kV from Morogoro to Makutupora in Singida region is on course.
2021
Two Chinese companies China Civil Engineering Construction (CCEC) and China Railway Construction Company (CRCC) have won a tender to construct phase 5 of the Tanzania SGR from Isaka to Mwanza. According to the minister, the 341km section will cost US $1.3bn.
The construction of the first phase from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro is expected to be completed and operational this year, after the Government released US $118.2m to the contractors. The government’s intention is to ensure that the construction is completed on time.
The second phase of Tanzania’s standard gauge railway (SGR) from Morogoro region to Makutupora in Dodoma region covering 426km is on track
In late May, the government approved the spending of US $160.5m as a starting budget for the construction of the 341km Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Isaka to Mwanza. During the release of the funds at State House in Dar es Salaam, president Suluhu Hassan directed TRC boss Masanja Kadogosa to properly supervise implementation of the ongoing railway projects and as well get ready to begin the construction of the SGR line from Makutopora-Tabora, Tabora- Isaka- Kaliua- Mpanda and Kalema.
In early June, the government allocated US $513m to the construction of the SGR in the 2021/22 financial year.
In mid-June, President Samia laid a foundation stone for the construction of the fifth lot of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) at Misungwi, Mwanza.
In mid-July, a South Korea-based company, Hyundai Rotem secured contracts worth US $295.65m from Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) to deliver eco-friendly train cars. TRC would receive 80 train cars worth US $190.12m and 17 electric locomotives worth US $105.53m from Hyundai Rotem, which are expected to be delivered by 2024.
As part of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line project which would connect to Rwanda, the new train cars would operate on a 546km high-speed electric line spanning between Dar es Salaam and Makutupora. Tanzania is set to become the first country in East Africa to have electric trains.
CRDB Bank is able, willing and ready to finance construction of the next Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) phases if the government agrees.
CRDB has so far invested over US $107.8m to facilitate smooth operation of the project through issuance of guarantees for Yapi Merkez. It has also financed the operations of local sub-contractors and suppliers to ensure that work does not stop.
Una giornata al mercato di Handeni nella regione di Tanga - Tanzania
Un mattino ci svegliamo alle 5.30, l'alba aveva un colore rosa fluorescente spettacolare. Ci dirigiamo in moto alla stazione dei bus di #Kiberashi, ci stavamo recando ad #Handeni. Il mercato ci ha entusiasmato tutti, si trova di tutto a partire dalla frutta, la verdura, abbigliamento e scarpe, usato con etichette attestanti la provenienza dall'Europa, stoffe coloratissime, animali e quanto non sapremo nemmeno immaginare possa esistere!! Osservare come svolgono la scelta dell’acquisto di una mucca è davvero coinvolgente, chi compra gira, osserva e sceglie in lontananza, poi si avvicina iniziando la trattativa. Noi bianchi dobbiamo stare lontani altrimenti il prezzo lieviterebbe non poco a chi deve concludere l’affare. #Maasai che partono all'alba con mucche, capre o galline, a piedi o con qualunque mezzo li possa ospitare per raggiungere la località del #mercato prescelto. Passano tutta la giornata sotto il sole cocente vendendo o barattando. Terminato il giro delle bancarelle abbiamo fame, decidiamo di mangiare della carne di capra appena macellata e infilzata in legni lunghi a forma di uncino già posizionati attorno al fuoco. La carne più buona che avessimo mai mangiato. Senza sale, spezie o altro, completamente al naturale, molto morbida e saporita. Oltre essere in mezzo alla vita dei locali ci si è goduti la foresta e i panorami della savana in sella della moto fino ad arrivare in città. Decidiamo di rientrare al villaggio, l’autobus non si capiva a che ora “voleva” arrivare (in Africa non esiste l’orologio svizzero), ci siamo seduti sul bordo strada mettendoci ad osservare la loro vita, passanti, negozietti, fotografare di nascosto chi non voleva essere immortalato, chi cuciva e chi voleva venderci qualsiasi cosa.

Atta Webinar: An Introduction to Nomad Tanzania
Nomad Tanzania is one of East Africa's original safari companies, with a string of extraordinary camps and lodges in some of the most coveted locations in Africa. Twenty years ago our founders established their own unusual camps in the far-flung corners of Tanzania where they pioneered walking safaris in the Selous, the first camps in both Mahale and Katavi, and mobile migration camps in the greater Serengeti.
Nomad Tanzania now has the most complete circuit of camps in Tanzania, with 10 small and seriously special camps and lodges across the main National Parks including Kuro Tarangire, Entamanu Ngorongoro, Serengeti Safari Camp, Lamai Serengeti, Mkombe’s House, Chada Katavi, Greystoke Mahale, Kigelia Ruaha, Sand Rivers Selous and Kiba Point.
We have a reputation we’re very proud of for going the extra mile and for doing things properly. A great safari is the product of local knowledge, experience, attention to detail and the ability to listen to our guests and anticipate the unexpected. In every itinerary we go beyond the logistics and en-suite bathrooms to the essence of the safari experience – and the desire to leave indelible memories with those that travel with us.
In this webinar Tara Walvern (Nomad Marketing) will take you through each of Nomad’s camps and safari circuits, through North, South and West Tanzania. We are immensely proud of our safaris, camps and people and look forward to sharing them with you.

Voluntourism in Israel: Gleaning Vegetables
An active voluntourism in Israel opportunity is to glean fruits and vegetables from orchards and fields. LEKET, Israel's largest food rescue organization, coordinates volunteers with ripe produce that is ready for picking, or gleaning. The project both educates city folk on where food really comes from, and makes a very important contribution to people who literally do not have enough food to feed their families. The produce is grown in fields in the north and south of Israel so that incorporating this voluntourism project into an itinerary is relatively simple and time efficient.
