Tunduma Nakonde TAZARA Great North Road Hub
The border between Tanzania and Zambia is the final link in a vital economic chain known as the Dar es Salaam Corridor. This 342-kilometer frontier is home to one of the most important border crossings in all of southern and eastern Africa, a place where the economic pulse of a landlocked nation can be felt most strongly.

Your crossing will be at the Tunduma (Tanzania) and Nakonde (Zambia) border. This is not just a border post; it is a massive logistical hub. It serves as the terminus for the Great North Road and the historic TAZARA Railway, both built in the 1970s to provide Zambia with a crucial alternative route to the sea, breaking its dependence on apartheid-era South Africa.
