Nakuru Town vc Arusha city

[Buenos Aires]

Niliishi Mwanza miaka 3. Mark X yangu iliharibika mwaka nilioinunua. Barabara za mitaa ya Mwanza zinahitaji ukarabati

Barabara si kigezo cha kuishusha hadhi mwanza, hata dar, dodoma sehemu nyingi hakuna lami. So Mwanza litaendelea kuwa jiji la pili kwa ukubwa, usafi n.k baada ya dar. Arusha nikweli kwenye barabara tu wako vizuri

Geneva - Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire are only a few highlights attracting travellers to visit the African country of Tanzania, where more than a third of the landscape is under conservation protection. With its 22 national parks, this year round destination guarantees wilderness seekers a stay in harmony with nature and the world's most diverse safari experiences. Amidst the well-known "Northern Circuit", Kempinski Hotels has now signed management contracts for three outstanding luxurious properties, two elegant lodges and a high-end tented camp, which will be open to wild life lovers and guests as of 2023.

"We are delighted to be extending our international Kempinski portfolio in such an incredible country," said Bernold Schroeder, Chief Executive Officer ad interim and Chairman of the Executive Board of Kempinski Hotels at the signing of the management agreement with the owners. "In line with our brand promise of highest quality standards and to cater to our guests with outstanding destinations, we are continuing our selective expansion by adding high class hotels in exciting parts of the world. While we are happy to be currently extending long term contracts within Europe in partnership with our highly respected owners, we are at the same time moving forward with our expansion around the globe."

Lachezar Todorov, CEO of Helios Lodges Company, comments on the agreement: "With Kempinski Hotels we found a highly reliable and experienced partner, who since many decades delivers luxury experiences to guests around the globe. Their commitment and expertise in hotel industry meets our vision of a long-term partnership for our new projects in Africa, which we hope to become a market leader and a trend setter in this evergrowing market."


Set in extraordinary wilderness sites, the three new Tanzanian Kempinski properties will be ideal to be combined in a roundtrip and offer a luxurious stay in close vicinity to the most demanded attractions in the country. Inspired by the natural elements of surroundings and with a focus on sustainability, each lodge has its own expressive architectural language and distintive character that is unique to its particular, protected environment. With reference to the remarkable tree canopies of Africa, the architecture is dominated by expansive roof structures and projecting shade canopies which provide shelter from the African sun. Spacious terraces and magical outdoor living areas allow the guest to immerse themselves in nature.

19 tents with terrace and outdoor showers, two junior suite tents with an outside pool as well as two family tents with two rooms with more than 200 sqm await guests in the high-end Kempinski Msasa Lodge Lake Manyara. Placed on a ridge overlooking the lake and deep gorges, this luxurious tented camp offers access to world class game viewing and an exceptional birdlife variety.

A World Heritage Site and the world's most well-known wildlife conservation area, Serengeti National Park will be home to the 75 rooms Kempinski Longosa Lodge Serengeti. While the smallest guest rooms start at 71 sqm, the suites start from a size of 98 sqm followed by a three-bedroom villa of 270 sqm and a Presidential Villa of 400 sqm. Bars and lounges, dining area with decks and outdoor cooking, fire pit, outdoor pool, children's play corners and wellness area round off the facilities in the middle of an unspoiled setting of the animal migration corridor.

The third of the new Kempinski properties, surrounded by splendid Baobab trees in the heart of Tarangire National Park, is not only a haven for wildlife viewing, but also for bird enthusiasts who will be amazed by more than 550 species. With 75 guest rooms, suites and villas the offer at Kempinski Kitbong Hill Tarangire is similar to the one of the lodge at Serengeti allowing guests to stay in highest comfort in a scenically attractive environment and to relax in luxury after an exciting day in the wilderness.

"More than ever travellers are longing to reconnect with the earth and to spend their precious vacation time to immerse themselves in nature", adds Bernold Schroeder. "With these new Kempinski destinations in Tanzania, we are able to offer the best of both worlds to our guests by combining a stay in harmony with nature and the highest quality standards our brand has been known for over the last 125 years."
Main entry point for visitors to the Kempinski Lodges is Kilimanjaro International Airport or the airport of Dar Es Salaam with connections to Arusha or Lobo. Another option would be flights from Zanzibar.

Ata Mwanza second city haitoshi mboga.,

Man!!! Nakuru is huge!!! It has grown so fast. The beauty of Nakuru is in its residential areas.

So clean, so green and organized. With proper paved roads.

 

[coodip1]

If you call yourself an engineer, then you know that there's no clear definition of a city and any town can become a city once the country's authority decides so. If president Samia Suluhu wakes up and decides Lindi is a city, then it'll become a city. Having said that, Nakuru is bigger and more developed than Arusha speaking as someone who's been to both towns.

City without matching public facilities my foot

Nakuru slum that's paper rich but cash poor​

REAL ESTATE​

Residents of a slum in Nakuru town are sitting on a gold mine as land prices shoot through the roof. Unfortunately, they can only watch as the cash flows.

Most residents of Bondeni Estate only have allotment letters but cannot afford the cost of processing title deeds for their plots located less than a kilometre from the town’s central business district.

The high cost of land registration is out of reach for the residents, most of whom are hawkers. Yet, this would change their fortunes immensely.

Land measuring 100 feet by 50 feet costs between Sh10 million and Sh15 million, while an 80 feet by 50 feet plot goes for between Sh7 million and Sh10 million. The area is estimated to be one of the most expensive in Nakuru Municipality.

The increase in land prices has been spurred by the construction of modern housing by private developers, which has helped spruce up the slums. Residents are itching to sell off their property and cash in on the boom.

​

Further, the area has been listed among those to benefit from the Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP), which is funded by the World Bank. County Executive for Housing, Infrastructure and Planning Francis Mwangi said the project could see the prices of the plots double or triple.

“Bondeni slums is in a prime area and happens to be lucky to be among informal settlements set to benefit from the KUSP II,” he said.
The first phase of KUSP saw the infrastructure in Kwa Rhonda slums elevated to that of a mid-level estate.

Mr Mwangi said the involvement of the World Bank would help some residents acquire title deeds for their plots in a process that will involve surveyors and planners, before the final issuance of the documents.

What Nakuru residents should expect under new city status

With the Senate's approval of Nakuru's bid for city status, what is pending now is the award of charter by the president.

I think the definition of a city in most countries is based on population.

It's based on infrastructure & urban demographics not just population

Tanzania launches Africa's first radiochemistry lab​

Source: Xinhua| 2019-04-29 23:30:53|Editor: huaxia



ARUSHA, Tanzania, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Tanzania on Monday launched Africa's first fully fledged Radio-chemistry Analysis Laboratory at the country's Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC), located in the northern safari capital of Arusha.

The new state-of-the-art radiochemistry laboratory facility at TAEC was built at a cost of 4.3 million U.S. dollars.

"The country is at the forefront in reinforcing strict control in mining, handling and the transportation of Radioactive Materials and the establishment of this laboratory facility is yet another indication of this commitment," said Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa shortly after inaugurating the facility.

He advised the TAEC to build nuclear reactors so that the country can be ready to make use of its abundant uranium deposits by converting them to energy.

"So far the Mkuju River Uranium Development Project itself has nearly 59,000 tons of uranium deposits, among the highest in Africa," said Majaliwa.

The prime minister said Tanzania targets new dimension in large scale uranium mining, with significant deposits being identified in various parts of the country, including Mbulu and Simanjiro Districts of Manyara, Rural parts of Songea in Ruvuma Region, Minjingu, Arusha as well as Namtumbo, Madama and Lindi, along the Southern Coast peninsular.

In line with that, more than 25 companies are conducting exploration of the uranium in different areas of Tanzania and these explorations are based on the already radiometric surveys conducted in over 40 years ago that pointed to uranium enrichment in various places in the country, that is why the state is establishing complementing facilities.

The newly inaugurated Radio-chemistry Analysis Laboratory is already equipped with various modern and technological paraphernalia valued at more than 3.2 million U.S. dollars donated to Tanzania by the European Union (EU).

With such a facility in place, Tanzania through TAEC is now in a position to conduct radioactive tests from all neighboring countries, such as Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and Malawi, where such services are not available.
