Arusha. The government has completed construction of Engaresero Airport at the foothills of Ol Doinyo Lengai, popularly known as the Mountain of God, in a move expected to open up Lake Natron’s tourism potential and attract more visitors to the area.
The new facility, which was constructed between May 2025 and June 2026, is awaiting official commissioning after completing the required inspections and beginning trial operations by selected aircraft.
The airport features a 1.2-kilometre runway measuring 23 metres wide, built with compacted and reinforced gravel designed to support operations throughout the year.
