Tanzania and Mozambique open their first connection by road.

The picturesque north of Mozambique is receiving increasing number of tourists, but till now it was only possible to access this area from Tanzania by the river, with a pirogue. The construction of a new bridge shall now make the access easier.

This is one of the least developed borders in the entire region, in spite of the two countries being members of the most important commercial and political block of Africa, the SADC. Up to now, the connection by road between these two countries had seemed unnecessary from an economic perspective, but the growing tourism industry is changing this perspective, as tourism starts opening this untouched region.
