Tanzania – Strategic Gateway to East Africa
Tanzania is home to Dar es Salaam, one of the busiest ports in East Africa and the primary gateway for landlocked countries including Zambia, Malawi, and the DRC. The TAZARA corridor places Tanzanian operators at the centre of SADC freight flows.
- Key corridors: TAZARA (Dar es Salaam-Lusaka), Northern Corridor (Dar es Salaam-Nairobi), Malawi Corridor (Dar es Salaam-Lilongwe)
- Main commodities: Port containerised cargo, fuel, fertiliser, mining equipment, agricultural produce
- Border posts: Tunduma/Nakonde (TZ/ZM), Kasumulu/Chiponde (TZ/MW), Namanga (TZ/KE)
- Port volumes: Dar es Salaam handles 17+ million tonnes per year
