The flight ticket fare differs between Airports. Example flight from USA,Canada Or Europe to JKIA is much cheaper than fare in JRO.

Reasons are high landing fee in JRO, high fuel prices, lack of modern communication facilities and general management plans related to investor.

Airlines landing at Jommo Kenyatta International Airport, JKIA offers cheap flight tickets, because JKIA offers competitive attractive incentives to Airlines like low landing fees,cheap jet fuels, modern communications and other attributes.

There are benefits to Kenya Government economically,like more publicity of Kenya Tourist destinations, More airlines land at JKIA, Kenyan people can afford to travel abroad to market and export agriculture products or tourism and at large you find Kenya Government earn more through tourism.

Many airlines land at JKIA, Nairobi and there are competitive airlines tickets, as a result many tourists look for cheap tickets.

It is obvious that many Tourists wishing to visit Tanzania, must first pass to Kenya. hence kenya earn also on VISA fees. Look, at Namanga Border there are several Bus Shuttles which travels between Nairobi to Arusha for transfering the tourists.

Due to weakness of Kilimanjaro Airport,JRO and Kenyan Government take advantage and have planned to build Taveta International Airport near Holili Border to Tanzania. This means all Tourists who wish to visit Northern Tanzania Game parks like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mount kilimanjaro and Kenya tsavo park would prefer to Land at taveta international airport. From taveta international Airport to Moshi is about 50 kms only to Moshi town or 120 kms to Arusha. This is easier for Tourists than 400kms from Nairobi to Arusha.





So Kenyan Government will get more tourism potential and economic growth. More badly to Tanzania is Kilimanjaro International Airport, JRO to colapse.

Advise to Tanzania Government: Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport to Dialogue with KADCO - Kilimanjaro Airports Development Company and establish incentive Bonus to attract more international airlines.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA). Is among World's natural wonders, and consist of attractions with diverse wildlife species, landscapes, and Maasai people. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) was established in 1959 and is located 156 kilometers west of Arusha. Ngorongoro Crater is within NCA. The NCA is not a National Park, it is a Protected Area. "Protected areas" means areas entrance allowed by permit only including National Parks, Game Reserves, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Vacation packages available include Day trip safari to Ngorongoro crater, and Tanzania safari booking of 2 days to Ngorongoro, and Tarangire Park. For Tanzania safari bookings deals, browse here or contact us. 





The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) covers some 8300 square kilometers. It boasts of the finest blend of Mountains landscapes shaped by rifts and volcanoes, wildlife, people, and archaeological sites in Africa. The concept of multiple land use in a Conservation perspective is a deviation from a Traditional approach (National Parks & Game Reserves) regarding conservation as complete absenteeism of human Interference.

It becomes one of the first Programs in the World to pioneering experiment in multiple land use for the benefits of both Maasai people and Wildlife in Natural traditional setting. The multiple land use philosophy in the area is to maintain the co-existence of human (with social and economic factors) and Wildlife in a natural tradition setting. Pastoralism, conservation of natural resources and Tourism are the three Components that are considered to be compatible in the area. NCA is often called ‘African Eden’ and the ‘Eight Wonder of the Natural World’. Traditional African pastoralists Co-operate with Tanzania’s government bodies to help preserve the natural resources of the area and to ensure a fantastic experience for Tourists. NCA has more intrinsic and aesthetic values than what is needed by Tourists. One Researcher said “They can not know that they need it until they have it” It means unless you visit NCA, you can’t know its beauty and marvels. It has more diversity and stunning features than any protected area (National Park, Game Reserve) in the World.

Ngorongoro is the World Heritage Site and has also been declared an International Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. This is due to its outstanding Wildlife and Cultural values. NCA has many Fascinating features explains to you in detail the 2 most outstanding among other features. (i) NGORONGORO CRATER (ii) OLDUVAI GORGE.

(i) NGORONGORO CRATER.
Ngorongoro is the largest/huge unbroken caldera in the World. It is also known as a collapsed volcano, this natural amphitheater has 250 square kilometers and 23 km wide. The Crater has very steep walls of an average depth of 600 meters. It’s at an altitude of 2,286 m above sea level. The crater alone has over 20,000 large animals (half of them zebra & wildebeest). This includes some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Animals are free to leave or enter the crater but most of them stay because of the plentiful water and food available on the crater floor throughout the year. There are also gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest, and warthog. Such vast numbers attract predators a plenty, mainly lion and hyena but also cheetah and leopard. More than 100 species of birds not found in the Serengeti have been spotted here. Countless flamingos form a pink blanket over the soda lakes. For the best viewing and photography, approach the animals slowly and quietly and stay on the official tracks. Our Driver Guide will show you the Best of Game viewing.



(ii) OLDUPAI (OLDUVAI) GORGE;


It was here that Dr. Louis Leakey discovered the remains of Homo habilis or “handyman” regarded as mankind’s first step on the ladder of human evolution. Humans have been part of Ngorongoro’s landscape for millions of years. The earliest sign of mankind in the conservation area is at LAETOLI, where hominid footprints are preserved in volcanic rock 3,600,000 years old. The story continues at Olduvai (Olduvai) Gorge a river canyon cut 100 meters deep through the volcanic soils of the Serengeti plains. Buried in the layers are the remains of animals and hominids that lived and died around a shallow lake amid grass plains and woodlands, from 2,000,000 years ago to the present. The four different kinds of hominids found there to show a gradual increase in brain size and in the complexity of their stone tools. But many more fossils have been discovered here including those of prehistoric elephants, giant horned sheep, and enormous ostriches. Visitors can learn more details of this fascinating story by visiting the gorge where guides will give an on-site interpretation of the gorge. Oldupai Museum at the gorge is also very useful for information and education.
