TTCL, free wi-fi

TTCL Corporation has launched a new initiative to provide internet services at all major tourist attractions across Tanzania. This program aims to enhance the experience of visitors by offering free Wi-Fi in key locations, helping tourists stay connected as they explore the country’s natural beauty.

TTCL’s Director General, Eng. Peter Ulanga, shared this during an event where ambassadors from various countries climbed Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the ‘Twenzetu Kileleni’ campaign, which translates to ‘Let’s go to the Top.’ After successfully installing free Wi-Fi at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, TTCL turned its attention to Machame Gate, one of the popular routes leading to the mountain summit.

The free Wi-Fi service allows climbers to share their experiences with family, friends, and the world in real-time. “The internet attracts zero charges, enabling mountaineers to communicate their climbing experiences.

This encourages others to come and experience the climb as well,” said Mr. Ulanga, in a statement delivered on his behalf by Mr. John Yahya from TTCL headquarters.

The ambassadors and high commissioners who participated in the climb were part of the celebrations for the 62nd anniversary of Tanganyika’s Independence, under the slogan ‘Twenzetu Kileleni.’ Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest free-standing mountain in Africa, stands at 5,895 meters and attracts climbers from around the world.

With TTCL’s free Wi-Fi services, climbers can now document and share their journey instantly, enhancing the attraction’s appeal.

Aside from Mount Kilimanjaro, TTCL has also installed free Wi-Fi in several public areas, including the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, the University of Dar es Salaam, and the Institute of Finance Management (IFM).

These installations ensure that students, sports fans, and the general public can access the internet for free in these locations.

Mr. Herman Batiho, the Deputy Commissioner of Conservation, expressed his gratitude to TTCL for improving communication services in Tanzania’s tourist attractions.

He emphasized that better connectivity would help attract more visitors, boosting the tourism industry. “By providing free Wi-Fi, TTCL is making it easier for tourists to share their experiences, which will ultimately increase the number of visitors to our national parks and other attractions,” Mr. Batiho said.

Tanzania’s focus on tourism has grown significantly since the country’s first national park, Serengeti National Park, was established in 1959. Today, the country is home to more than 20 national parks, making it a prime destination for nature lovers and adventurers. The introduction of free Wi-Fi at these attractions will not only improve the experience for tourists but also promote Tanzania as a modern and connected travel destination.

By expanding internet access, TTCL is playing a crucial role in boosting Tanzania’s digital infrastructure and ensuring that the country’s tourist attractions are more accessible to visitors from around the globe.

TTCL’s free Wi-Fi service is set to make a significant impact on both the tourism and communication sectors in Tanzania, positioning the country as a leader in combining technology with tourism development.
