The Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) The Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) is awaiting a comprehensive report on an accident in which four Swiss tourists and their Tanzanian driver escaped unhurt after their safari vehicle plunged into the Mara River in Serengeti National Park, about a fortnight ago.

TATO Executive Director, Mr Elirehema Maturo, told The Arusha News that the association would give its response to the incident once it receives a comprehensive report establishing exactly what transpired.
The accident occurred on Sunday, August 30, 2026, in the Kogatende area of northern Serengeti, one of Tanzania’s busiest wildlife-viewing locations during the annual wildebeest migration.

The four Swiss tourists were travelling in a Land Cruiser when the vehicle went over the riverbank and plunged into the Mara River.

Fortunately, all four tourists and their Tanzanian driver were safely rescued, with no serious injuries reported.
Despite the frightening ordeal, the tourists continued with their planned holiday in Tanzania, later travelling to Zanzibar where they are spending the remaining days of their visit.
Meanwhile, the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) has said investigations are underway to determine the circumstances that led to the vehicle plunging into the river.
The accident happened at the height of the wildebeest migration season, when thousands of international visitors travel to northern Serengeti to witness the dramatic crossings of wildebeest and other animals along the Mara River.
Kogatende and other popular river-crossing points can attract large numbers of safari vehicles as guides position their guests to witness the migration.

The incident is consequently expected to renew attention within the tourism industry on visitor safety, professional guiding, vehicle movements and management of safari traffic around busy river-crossing points during the peak migration season.

Tanzania has once again cemented its position as a Tanzania has once again cemented its position as a tourism heavyweight after it was named Africa’s Leading Destination 2026 at the World Travel Awards ceremony for the third consecutive year.

The award was announced at the World Travel Awards Africa Gala Ceremony held in Zanzibar on August 28, 2026, extending the country’s winning streak after taking the same title in 2024 and 2025.

The country beat several established tourism destinations, including Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Rwanda and Botswana, to retain the coveted continental title.

Tanzania’s success extended beyond the overall destination award. The Serengeti National Park was named Africa’s Leading National Park 2026 and Africa’s Leading ‘Big 5’ National Park 2026, while Kilimanjaro National Park took the title of Africa’s Leading Mountain National Park 2026. Tanzania is home to the largest population of lions in the wild.
Zanzibar too was recognised as Africa’s Leading Beach Destination 2026 while the Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB) was named Africa’s Leading Tourist Board 2026 for the fifth year in a row.

The latest honours are expected to further boost Tanzania’s international tourism profile and strengthen promotion of the country’s wildlife, beaches, mountains and cultural attractions to a global clientele.

The Manyara Marathon held last Saturday, August 22 The Manyara Marathon held last Saturday, August 22, in Babati, has raised more than Sh1 billion towards improving specialised healthcare for premature and newborn babies in Manyara Region.

The charity race attracted over 2000 participants from different parts of the country who were touched by the mission of the fundraising marathon.

The campaign, held under the theme “Hatua Moja, Okoa Maisha ya Mtoto (one-step, save the life of a child) ”, was targeting Sh1.5 billion for the construction of a specialised premature-baby facility in Hanang District and the purchase of medical equipment for health facilities across Manyara.
“We thank all stakeholders who came forward and contributed,” Deputy Speaker Daniel Sillo said at the Marathon, adding that every contribution was important in saving children’s lives.

Manyara Regional Commissioner (RC) Queen Sendiga said the strong public response demonstrated support for efforts to improve maternal and newborn healthcare.
Regional Medical Officer Dr Andrew Method said about 3,200 premature babies are born in Manyara each year, including around 600 in Hanang District.
The marathon featured several race categories and also promoted sport, tourism and community participation during the annual event.

Health diaries  by Dr Lulu. C Ovarian cysts: What Health diaries
 by Dr Lulu. C

Ovarian cysts: What women should know
Hearing the words “ovarian cyst” can immediately make a woman worry about cancer, infertility or the need for surgery. However, ovarian cysts are very common and most are harmless and disappear on their own.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in an ovary. The ovaries naturally go through changes during the menstrual cycle, and some cysts form as part of this normal process. These are called functional cysts and are particularly common in women who have not yet reached menopause.
Many ovarian cysts cause no symptoms at all and are discovered incidentally during an ultrasound scan or routine examination. When symptoms do occur, they may include lower abdominal or pelvic pain, bloating, a feeling of fullness, painful intercourse or changes in the menstrual cycle.
Most simple cysts are not dangerous and may disappear within a few weeks or months without treatment. A doctor may simply recommend monitoring the cyst with another ultrasound scan to see whether it has changed.
However, some cysts can cause complications. A cyst may occasionally rupture, causing sudden pelvic pain and in some cases, internal bleeding. It can also cause the ovary to twist, a condition called ovarian torsion. This can cut off the blood supply to the ovary and is a medical emergency.
Women should seek urgent medical attention if they develop sudden, severe pelvic or abdominal pain accompanied by vomiting, dizziness, fainting, weakness or heavy bleeding.
Another common concern is fertility. Having an ovarian cyst does not automatically mean that a woman will have difficulty becoming pregnant. ⁸ functional cysts do not affect fertility.
