Mpanda is
a city in Katavi Region of Tanzania, East Africa with a postcode number
50100. It is the administrative centre of Katavi Region, Mpanda
District and is itself one of the four districts of the region.
Mpanda
is a "frontier town" in the far west of Tanzania, roughly 500 km north
of Mbeya and 380 km south-west of Tabora. It is the administrative
headquarters for the Katavi Region, (created by subdivision of the Rukwa
Region in 2012), and for the Mpanda District. It is an important centre
in the rural economy, especially for the marketing and transshipment of
rice and maize. The Katavi region is increasingly of interest to
mineral prospectors, especially for gold.
It
is also a staging point for visiting the beautiful Katavi National
Park, with its headquarters just 35 km to the south at Sitalike. The
Park has a good cross-section of East African wildlife but is perhaps
best known for its populations of hippopotamus. As yet all roads into
Mpanda (from Sumbawanga, Tabora or Kigoma) remain unsealed and may for
brief periods become impassable at the height of the wet season
(particularly February–March). The Tanzanian government has in progress a
project to seal a large part of the road north from Sumbawanga.
Local
services include minibuses to Sitalike, and daily bus services to
Usevya and to the fishing villages of Karema and Ikola on Lake
Tanganyika. Mpanda is the endpoint of a rail line with passenger
services from Tabora (approx 12-15hours). In 2012 the government
completed an upgrade of Mpanda airport to a 2 km sealed runway and a
commercial air service has commenced.
