The Karibu

The Heartbeat of

One of East Africa’s biggest tourism Expo, Karibu-Kilifair took place from 4-7 June 2026 at Magereza Ground in Arusha, Tanzania. The event brought together government leaders, tourism stakeholders, exhibitors, buyers, SMEs, visitors, and industry professionals from around the world as part of efforts to adequately support and showcase the tourism industry in East Africa.

Kilifair 2026

East African Travel

The dust has settled over the Magereza Grounds in Arusha, but the electric energy generated at KARIBUKILIFAIR 2026 continues to ripple across the global travel landscape. This year, the exhibition ground covered around 47,000 sqm, East Africa’s premier tourism trade fair delivered

its most ambitious edition yet. By expanding to a fourday format, the event gave over 500 regional exhibitors and 1,000 international buyers the unprecedented

space to connect, negotiate, and reshape the future of African travel. The fourday tourism expo reached record-breaking heights and raised the standard of professionalism to an entirely new level.

A New Chapter: The Power of the B2B Exhibitor Day

The headline innovation for 2026 was the introduction of a dedicated, exclusive Exhibitor and Media Day on June 4. Stripping away the public crowds, this strategic shift allowed serious trade stakeholders from Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, and Uganda to lock in hyper-focused partnerships. Through the

event’s digital appointment platform, international travel agents finalized regional itineraries that seamlessly bridge multiple borders, satisfying a rising global demand for unified East African safaris.

The Rhythm of Culture and Collaboration

The ceremony was honored by Dr. Theresa Mugobi, representing Hon. Dr. Asha Kijaji, alongside Dr. Willy Chambulo, Mr. Suleiman Ali Mohammed, honorable Zanzibar representatives, KILIFAIR Directors Tom Kunkler and Dominic Shoo, other top regional leaders and hundreds of local and international participants graced the event, highlighting the significance of the tourism industry in Tanzania.

While business drove the mornings, a celebration of authentic African heritage defined the afternoons. The fairgrounds came alive through dedicated thematic celebrations, including a vibrant “Tanzania Day,” a rhythm-infused “Zanzibar Day” packed with live Arabic-fusion melodies, and a cross-border “Uganda Village” showcase. A major highlight was the massively expanded Zanzibar Pavilion. Backed by a strong public-private

partnership, it brought 22 prominent island stakeholders to Arusha, proving that beach-andsafari package collaboration is stronger than ever.

Driving Sustainable Tourism Forward

Beyond the transactional success, KARIBU-KILIFAIR 2026 solidified its role as a thought leadership powerhouse. Industry expert panels and international delegations, including AHK Eastern Africa, gathered to tackle the sector’s most

pressing challenges: green infrastructure, cross-border visa optimization, and local skills development. The consensus was clear—the modern traveler demands eco-conscious, sustainable footprints, and East Africa is fully prepared to deliver.

As the tents come down, the numbers speak for themselves. With thousands of public trade visitors enjoying the final weekend and countless cross-border contracts signed, KARIBUKILIFAIR 2026 has officially

set a gold standard for African trade expos.

The countdown to next year has already begun. For details on how to register as a trade partner or secure early booth locations, visit the official KARIBU-KILIFAIR Platform.

If you have chosen the southern circuit for your adventure safari, then a visit to Tanzania’s fourth largest national park, Mikumi, is likely to be on your program. Four to five hours drive on comfortable roads will take you to this park which is known for hosting a wealth of Tanzania’s national animal, the giraffe.”

f you want to spend your holiday in a majestic natural area, the grand Mikumi National Park is the place to be. Established in 1964, Mikumi is the fourth largest national park in the world, enclosing an area of about 3230 square kilometers. Located south of Dar es Salaam right on the main Morogoro Iringa Highway, it is the first national park stop on the Tanzania southern circuit safari. The word Mikumi comes from a local word for Borassus palm trees referred to as Mikuky. Mikumi was the name given to the villages created by a tribal chief of Wavindunda community with the name of Mtwahela Kikuwi (pronounced mm-twahhe-laa Kee-kuu-wee).

Mikumi National Park has two

main sections divided by the main road.

The Northwest Section: is where most guests undertake their wildlife and birdlife viewing expeditions made possible by existing safari tracks. The Mkata flood plains aid the ecosystem by creating pools of water and therefore creating a sustainable environment for the plants and wildlife. The vegetations predominantly found are mixed grassland with acacia, baobab, sausage, tamarind and few small palms trees. Game driving further into the park or staying at the Foxes Tented Camp, itself lying on a hill, the majestic view of the Rubeho and Uluguru mountains can be seen, which are part of the pre-Cambrian rocks formed over 600 million years ago.

The Southeast Section: is not conducive to the safari experience because of its underdeveloped infrastructure. Guests staying at the Vuma Hills Tented Camp can experience the rugged and wilderness experience from a geological and Vegetation perspective.

Visiting Mikumi National Park during the dry season can aid a safari experience by the fact that the dried up vegetation and the brown soil creates a superb hue during sunrises and sunsets.

Wildlife and Birdlife Experience at Mikumi National Park: The wildlife viewing experience at Mikumi National Park can

be experienced right upon entering the park where guests can encounter baboons, zebras and impalas speedily crossing the road. Making a right turn after paying the park fees leads you right into the Kikoboga-Mikumi Wildlife Camp, where guests can watch the elephants in the distance splattering them with mud. Circulation around the Kisungura road circuit leads you to the hippo pool, which is best visited during the evenings when the distant setting sun and the bobbing heads of the hippos create perfect pictures. Next to the flood plain, guests might see birds such as crowned cranes, kingfishers, hornbills and storks each having a sharp eye out for anything that might

WHY VISIT MIKUMI NATIONAL PARK

First Park on the Southern Safari Circuit: Mikumi National Park is the first stop on the southern safari circuit, allowing guests an enjoyable break with a wildlife viewing experience on route to Ruaha National Park.

• Excellent Biodiversity: Mikumi offers the opportunity to view a diverse number of animals and birds in a short period of time without too much driving around.

• Personalized Wildlife Watching: With relatively few numbers of people undertaking the southern safari circuit by road, Mikumi is one of the most under-visited parks in Tanzania.

• Accommodation Fairly Priced: Accommodations in Mikumi National Park cater to all personalities and budgets, making it a must-visit park for any person visiting Tanzania.

• Unique Wildlife Experience: Safari guides often state that it is easier to spot a tree-climbing lion in Mikumi National Park than to spot one in Lake Manyara National Park.

slither or move in the water or on the grassy patches. Traversing further northwest, heading to the Foxes Safari Camp, may lead you to wallowing buffalos taking advantage of Mkata flood plains small catchments or you might see the unpublicized treeclimbing lions of Mikumi National Park. Crisscrossing the safari road tracks of the Mikumi National Park can lead you to the ultimate treat of viewing the giraffes that are being debated by many naturalists to be a cross between the Maasai and reticulated giraffe because of their compromising patterns.

What To Do?

Game drives and guided walks are great options. Manu guests enjoy visiting the snake park in Mikumi village. Guests can also visit the nearby Udzungwa Mountains, or travel on for more wildlife safari in Selous or Ruaha.

Best Time to Visit

Mikumi National Park’s dry season starts around mid-May lasting to mid-November, with patches of transition time between January and February when rains switch from the short to the long rains. Long rains start from around the middle of February tapering off by the middle of May.

Getting there

A good surfaced road connects Mikumi to Dar es Salaam via Morogoro, roughly a 4 hour drive. There are also road connections to Udzungwa, Ruaha and (dry season only) Selous. Charter flights are available from Dar es Salaam, Arusha or Selous and local buses run from Dar to park HQ where Tanzania Safari game drives can be arranged.

Accommodation

Whether a visitor decides to drive or fly, the park offers a range of accommodations, from luxury lodges outside and inside the park to luxury and budget tented camps near the borders. Our recommendations include:

• Mikumi Wildlife Lodge: Located in the Kikoboga area, provides 48 spacious, contemporary rooms. It overlooks a natural watering hole often frequented by elephants.

• Vuma Hills Tented Camp: Sitting on a hillside overlooking the park, this property features spacious safari tents with private terraces and a pool.

• Stanley's Kopje: Set on a rocky outcrop, this exclusive, ecofriendly tented camp is situated in the remote Mkata floodplains, providing great game viewing directly from camp.

For travelers seeking unforgettable big-game encounters without the vast transit times or heavy crowds of the north, Mikumi delivers an authentic, quintessential African safari experience that is simply not to be missed.

Tanzania World Heritage Sites

From the Heights of Kilimanjaro to Depths of Zanzibar

TANZANIA IS A COUNTRY WHICH ENCOMPASSES AN EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY AND AN ABUNDANCE OF NATURAL WONDERS; THEREFORE, IT IS NO SURPRISE TANZANIA HAS EIGHT WORLD HERITAGE SITES. THESE CHOSEN SITES ARE A FUNDAMENTAL REMINDER WHY INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE AND NATURE MUST ACHIEVE A BALANCE OF PRESERVATION AND CONSERVATION BETWEEN THE TWO.”

STONETOWN, ZANZIBAR

Stone Town, or Mji Mkongwe in Swahili (meaning “ancient town”), is the oldest part of Zanzibar City. The old town is built on a triangular peninsula of land on the western coast of the island and was awarded World Heritage Site status in 2000. Justification for the inscription includes its rich cultural fusion and harmonization; its great symbolic importance in the suppression of slavery; and the intense seaborne trading activity between Asia and Africa, which is illustrated today in the exceptional architecture

and urban structure of Stone Town.

KILIMANJARO NATIONAL PARK

The Kilimanjaro National Park is located near Moshi, Tanzania. It is centered on the iconic and dramatic snow-clad slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, which covers an area of 753 km (291 square miles). In 1973, the mountain above the tree line was classified as a National Park and was opened to public access in 1977, but it wasn’t until 1987 UNESCO listed the park as a World Heritage Site.

KONDOA ROCK ART SITE

The Kondoa rock art site is a series of caves carved into the side of a hill looking out over the steppe. The cave site is nine kilometers off the main highway from Kondoa to Arusha, about 20 km north of Kondoa. The site has a spectacular collection of images from over 150 shelters depicting elongated people, animals, and hunting scenes. Today many of the shelters are still considered to have ritual associations with the

people who live nearby, reflecting their beliefs and cosmological traditions.

THE NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) boasts the finest blend of landscapes, wildlife, people and archaeological sites in Africa and is situated 180 km west of Arusha. The rich pasture and permanent water of the crater floor supports a large resident population of wildlife

of up to 25,000 predominantly grazing animals. The conservation area is administered by the NCA Authority, and its boundaries follow the boundary of the Ngorongoro Division of Ngorongoro District. It covers an area of 8,288 km (3,200 square miles).

Deep Sea Fishing

Every Fisherman’s

Dream

With spectacular deep-sea fishing in Dar, Pemba, Mafia and Kilwa, fresh water fishing in Lake Victoria, record breaking catches, Tanzania is a fisherman’s paradise. There’s superb deep sea fishing all year around with marlin, sailfish, tuna, barracuda and trevally running deep.”

in Tanzania in Tanzania

“Fresh water fishing in Tanzania’s stunning lakes and rivers offers the chance to catch huge Nile Perch and Tilapia in stunning surroundings. If you’re a fishing enthusiastic, Tanzania has everything you could dream of, from fly fishing in crystal clear mountain streams, trolling the flood plains and the adventure and drama of deep-sea fishing.”

Fresh water fishing in Tanzania’s stunning lakes and rivers offers the chance to catch huge Nile Perch and Tilapia in stunning surroundings. If you’re a fishing enthusiastic, Tanzania has everything you could dream of, from fly fishing in crystal clear mountain streams, trolling the flood plains and the adventure and drama of deep-sea fishing.”

Deep sea fishing in Tanzania is an experience to be savoured. The Indian Ocean is rich in fish, with tuna and pelagics migrating through the Pemba Channel every year, with snapper, grouper and sharks in residence all year round. Imagine sailing through deep blue waters, the sun on your back as you wrestle a 30kg dorado or yellow fin tuna on board.

There’s a number of private companies and tour operators

specialising in deep sea fishing to guide you through the waters, offering fishing safaris for the dedicated angler. Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia are the most popular destinations for deep sea fishing, with Dar es Salaam, Pangani and Tanga on the mainland.

For fresh water fishing, Tanzania’s lakes and rivers let you enjoy fly fishing and catch and release.

Customised boats have light and heavy tackle, electronics, GPS and safety equipment for the serious international fisherman. Excursions usually last for a day, with boats bringing you and your catch back to your hotel in time for dinner but live abroad options are also available. If you’re after an authentic Tanzanian experience, you can head out

on the water with a fisherman in a dhow or a ngalawa canoe and see how it’s done by the locals.

For fresh water fishing, Tanzania’s lakes and rivers let you enjoy fly fishing and catch and release. Mwanza, on the shores of Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest fresh water lake, is home to huge Nile Perch and Tilapia. Fishing isn’t permitted inside national parks but there are a number of lakes and rivers in the buffer zone open to anglers and even rainbow trout farms in Arusha, allowing visitors to relax into the tranquillity of the truly beautiful surroundings, watch the bird life and wildlife go by.

During the rainy season, rivers and streams swell, reviving the land and waters, teeming with fish life, perfect for a fishing safari.

50TH ANNUAL DAR ESSALAAM INT ERN ATIONALTRADE FAIR

ANNUAL DAR ES SALAAM INT ERN ATIONAL TRADE FAIR

The upcoming event is expected to redefine the country’s trade fair landscape, strengthening Tanzania’s position as a regional hub for commerce, innovation and investment.

The Tanzania Trade Development Authority (TanTrade) has officially launched preparatory activities for the Golden Jubilee Night, scheduled for July 6, as part of the climax of the broader Sabasaba 2026 celebrations.

Deputy Minister for Industry and Trade, Mr Dennis Londo, underscored the strategic importance of the Golden Jubilee celebrations, noting that they represent far more than a ceremonial milestone.

“This sabasaba 2026 is a powerful national statement of economic progress, industrial transformation, and regional integration,” he said.

Dar Es Salaam is set to witness a landmark moment in trade and investment as preparations intensify for the Sabasaba 2026 Golden Jubilee Night, marking 50 years of the Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DITF).

Mr Londo said that the 2026 exhibition will serve as a dynamic platform showcasing the country’s expanding industrial base, innovative technologies, and diverse range of products and services. He further highlighted that the event will enhance economic diplomacy and deepen Tanzania’s engagement within East and Central African markets, while creating new opportunities for trade partnerships and foreign investment.

Tantrade Director General Dr Latifa Khamis, said that the 50th DITF is not only a national pride event but also a shared national asset that reflects the unity and ambition of Tanzanians. She stressed that the exhibition continues to play a critical role in connecting local entrepreneurs with global markets, while promoting the country as an attractive destination for investment and business expansion.

key highlight of the celebrations will be the golden jubilee night, which is expected to offer a blend of high-level entertainment, advanced exhibition showcases, and recognition of key stakeholders who have contributed to the success of sabasaba over the past five decades.

“The event is designed to celebrate both the historical journey and future aspirations of our trade ecosystem,” she said. “This night is a symbolic platform that brings together commerce, investment, technology, and creativity under one roof.

Beyond entertainment, it is expected to serve as a strategic networking space for business leaders, investors, and policymakers, reinforcing collaboration across sectors. The 50th DITF will run from June 28 to July 13, 2026, and is expected to attract thousands of exhibitors and visitors from across Africa and beyond.

As preparations intensify, stakeholders have expressed optimism that the 50th DITF will not only commemorate five decades of success but also set a new benchmark for trade exhibitions in Africa. The golden jubilee night, in particular, is anticipated to stand out as a defining moment celebrating history while opening a new chapter of opportunity, innovation, and sustainable economic growth for Tanzania.
