Burigi-Chato National Park, Tanzania
Tanzania hopes to improve international tourism by increasing the number of attractions in the country. To this end, the government is focusing on upgrading game reserves into fully fledged national parks.
Tanzanian President, John Pombe Magufuli, has implemented this by commissioning the Burigi-Chato National Park on July 9.
The park is close to Lake Victoria on the border with Rwanda, and is surrounded by the Kagera River and Lake Burigi.
The park is home to a wide collection of wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, chimpanzees and gorillas.
Chato Airport will be used to open the area’s tourist circuit
