Arusha — Tour operators are concerned about the appalling state of a road leading to the Serengeti National Park.
They say the road
from the Lodoare gate in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the park
has potholes, making driving a nightmare.
"From the NCAA gate
and all over Serengeti National Park, the roads are extremely bad,"
complains Tanzania Association of Tour Operators chairman Wilbard
Chambulo.
A traveller from
the Lodoare gate in Ngorongoro to Serengeti will come across a number of
tour vehicles stuck in the middle of poor roads, he said here
yesterday. In 10 days of a safari, for instance, tour operators spend 90
per cent of the fuel driving in such bad roads.
"Where does the
money tour operators pay as a road licence go to?" "On top of this we
pay between Sh20,000 and Sh60,000 plus VAT again for using these roads
under the custodian of the Tanzania National Parks and the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area Authority per day," he said
