It is my expectation that we have all along tried our level best to produce this quarterly newsletter with enough and relevant information useful to you all. As we are getting to the middle of the year 2012, it is my responsibility once again to thank you all for the role you are playing in making sure that our parks continue to be effectively managed for the betterment of the current and the future generations. Rest assured that the Management of TANAPA works hard day and night to ensure that we offer quality services to our customers who travel from various source markets to visit the spectacular attractions in our parks. We understand that we have a special responsibility that has been bestowed to us by Tanzanians and we commit ourselves that we will continue improving our services to world standards. Our records in the past few months have shown an increase in the number of visitors in our parks, which is an indication that our efforts of promoting the parks bear fruitful results. We have also managed to observe some visitors from new markets such as the South Korea, China, Turkey and Russia visiting the parks. We are currently reviewing our policy to accommodate new policy developments that will make TANAPA offer packages of unique products and services that will be highly competitive. Through this review, TANAPA will be able to engage in some business ventures so as to increase diversity of revenues for the organization. It is no doubt that all these changes will make a difference in meeting our customer’s expectations. It is worth informing the public that poaching still remains a threat to the survival of some wildlife species. We are doing our best to ensure that we get rid of this threat which tarnishes the image of our country. 0D\,DWWKLVMXQFWXUHDSSHDOWRDOOJRRGFLWL]HQVWRZRUNFORVHO\ZLWK7$1$3$ÀJKWIHDUOHVVO\WRSURWHFW our wildlife.

Your issue this time around brings you some palatable stuff ever seen elsewhere with an opening exclusive interview with, Mr. Allan Kijazi, TANAPA’s Director General who shares with our readers his vast experience in the conservation and tourism industry. He has a lot to offer you through his interview. In its move to work closely with various stakeholders both locally and internationally, TANAPA together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have launched a conservation project in the southern part of the country. In the same line of working with conservation partners, TANAPA has recently received three black rhinos from the United Kingdom as part of improving its population in the country. This issuewill take you through and provide you with all the details. Tourism being the secondary core function of the organization and at the same time being the main source of revenue which is then ploughed back to conservation activities is paid attention by TANAPA as we have now decided to use our embassies abroad to help promote our attractions. Some newly appointed ambassadors were invited to visit some of these attractions in the parks. The editorial team has also prepared some features which will help you become knowledgeable in the areas of conservation and tourism in the parks which is actually the main purpose of this newsletter. Last but not least, may I wish you once again good health in your endeavour and we also welcome your ideas and opinions through the provided address below so that together we can improve our way of communication with you all. Thanks!

  • The Reptiles of Mkomazi National Park, Tanzania an Updated Checklist with Some Aspects of Biogeography
    Journal of East African Natural History 108(2): 81–98 (2019) THE REPTILES OF MKOMAZI NATIONAL PARK, TANZANIA AN UPDATED CHECKLIST WITH SOME ASPECTS OF BIOGEOGRAPHY Glory W. Summay, Kevin E. Lyakurwa Mkomazi National Park P.O. Box 41, Same, Tanzania [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] John V. Lyakurwa, Chacha Werema Department of Zoology and Wildlife Conservation, University of Dar es Salaam P.O. Box 35064, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania [email protected]; [email protected] Tito J. Lanoy Department of Wildlife, College of African Wildlife Management P. O Box 3031, Moshi, Tanzania [email protected] Raymond E. Okick Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute P.O Box 661, Arusha, Tanzania [email protected] ABSTRACT The Mkomazi National Park (MNP) is a protected area representing three major biomes, yet it remains poorly known from a herpetological perspective. Intensive surveys for reptiles were carried out in the MNP during dry and wet seasons in 2018, with the main focus of updating the existing data and assessing the influence of the three biomes on the park’s species composition. Various methods were used to document 55 species, most of which were found during the dry season. The checklist of reptiles of MNP is now updated to 73 species, 97% of which are typical of the Somalia-Maasai biome, equivalent to 54% of all Somalia-Maasai biome species in Tanzania. The MNP was found to be the most discordant in species composition from the contiguous Pare and Usambara Mountains, the latter two areas harbouring Afromontane forest-dependent species.

  • Northern Tanzania Wildlife Safari
    Northern Tanzania Wildlife Safari August 7 -18, 2021, with extension Aug. 18-21 The Great Migration of the Serengeti is surely one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife phenomena. Equally impressive are the self-contained ecosystem of Ngorongoro Crater and the diverse habitats of Tarangire National Park. This safari con- centrates on these wildlife-rich areas so that you get more observation time and less travel than a trip that tries to cover too many areas superficially. Your leaders know these areas well and can give you the very best experience possible. We also offer a wonderful short extension to Mkomazi National Park, which you should consider if you have the time and resources to do so, as it is a different ecosystem with mammals (e.g., wild dogs) and birds unlikely to be seen elsewhere. Our January-February safari focuses on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti, but at this time of year, the action is in the north, especially along the Mara River, where we should have a good chance to see the dramatic river-crossings of the herds and plenty of predators. It’s the dry season in parks like Tarangire, so the river and marshes there attract large numbers of animals, both predator and prey. If an African safari could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you, then make it the best! And do it with expert leadership, people who know the patterns and behaviors of wildlife—who not only can find and spot the wildlife but who also can provide the rich details of context that makes this more than merely accumulating lists.

  • Black Rhino Conservation in Tanzania: Translocation Efforts and Further Challenges
    Black rhino conservation in Tanzania: translocation efforts and further challenges Robert D. Fyumagwa1*, Julius W. Nyahongo2 1Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI), P. O. Box 661, Arusha, Tanzania; email: [email protected] 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Dodoma, P. O. Box 259 Dodoma, Tanzania; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract Tanzania had many black rhinos (Diceros bicornis) in the 1960s but was hit by ruthless poaching between the 1970s and late 1980s. From the 1990s, the country declared a war against unscrupulous poachers in order to conserve the few remaining rhinos. The current strategy is to reintroduce black rhinos that were originally from East Africa in order to increase genetic diversity. Three translocations of black rhinos between 1997 and 2001 involved 10 animals from South Africa, two of which were reintroduced to Ngorongoro Crater and eight to Mkomazi National Park. In 2007, two black rhinos from Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, UK, were introduced into a sanctuary adjacent to Ikorongo-Grumeti Game Reserves. In June 2009, three black rhinos from the Czech Republic were translocated to Mkomazi National Park. Another translocation operation is expected to begin in May 2010 whereby 32 black rhinos will be translocated into the Serengeti ecosystem from Thaba Tholo, Thabazimbi, South Africa. Although the first five translocation operations went well, the challenge is the management of the reintroduced rhinos amid the growing social-ecological pressures affecting protected areas. Management authorities should consider the recommended sex ratio for rhino populations to avoid excessive male aggression. Keywords: Black rhinos, conservation, poaching, translocation Résumé La Tanzanie avait beaucoup de rhinocéros noirs (Diceros bicornis) dans les années 1960 mais elle a été touchée par un braconnage impitoyable entre les années 1970 et la fin des années 1980.
