RENOVATION OF HISTORIC KILIMANJARO HOTEL TO BRING NEW LIFE TO DAR ES SALAAM WATERFRONT

Hon. Zakia Hamdani Meghji, Minister of Natural Resources and Tourismpresided over the groundbreaking for the renovation of the once renowned Kilimanjaro Hotel in Dar es Salaam. "The Kilimanjaro Hotel was once the pride of Dar es Salaam and we are pleased to know that its lost glory will be restored as part of the Government's development strategies for the renewal of Dar es Salaam as amajor port, commercial and tourism center for East Africa," said the Minister.

ASB Holdings Ltd. is the investor who is bringing the Hotel, dormant for 10 years, back to life. The new Kilimanjaro hotel, located on a prime five-acre site on the Dar es Salaam harbor front, will feature world-class accommodation, including 170 rooms and seven presidential suites as well as banquet and conference facilities. Plans also call for a shopping and entertainment complex to be built adjacent to the hotel. The Kilimanjaro is likely to be operated by Kempinski and will also have a sister hotel in Zanzibar, the 250 room Zamani Zanzibar.

This major investment in down-town Dar es Salaam will play a key role in upgrading the surrounding waterfront area. In addition, the hotel will serve as an anchor for the development of Tanzania's "Southern Wildlife Circuit" intended toprovide for expansion of the important eco-tourism business in Tanzania, while simultaneously reducing environmental pressure on the current Northern Circuit Wildlife assets.
