Ngosi ni ziwa la kreta (crater lake) lipatikanalo Mkoa wa Mbeya kwenye milima ya Uporoto, Wilaya ya Rungwe lipo katika nyuzi 9.008°Kusini na 33.553°Mashariki, ni ziwa la pili kwa ukubwa barani Afrika baada ya lile lililoko nchini Ethiopia. Hata hivyo, wataalamu wanasema kwamba Ziwa Ngosi lina sifa za kipekee linazolitofautisha na lile lililoko Ethiopia.

Moja ya tofauti hizo ni kwamba Ziwa Ngosi limezungukwa na milima na misitu minene tofauti na lile la Ethiopia ambalo liko eneo lililo wazi na hufikika kwa urahisi kabisa kwa gari kitu ambacho hakiwezekani kwa Ziwa Ngosi. Wataalamu wanasema kwamba kuwepo kwa ziwa hilo sehemu hiyo kunasaidia kuzuia milipuko ya mara kwa mara ya volkano kwa kuwa linasaidia kupunguza misukumo ya gesi inayojijenga chini na kuanza kutafuta upenyo wa kutokea chini ya ziwa. Kitu cha kushangaza ni muonekano wa ziwa hili linakaribia kuwa na muonekano kama ramani ya bara la afrika pamoja na visiwa vyake kama ilivyo kule njombe ambapo kuna mwamba wenye ramani ya bara la Afrika unaitwa Lwivala, uliopo katika pori la hifadhi ya msitu Lwivala kijiji cha Igodivaha Wilaya ya Njombe

ziwa hili pia lina ingiza tu maji na hali toi maji kwa sababu liko katikati ya milima hivyo kuonekana kama liko shimoni alafu halina ufukwe, ziwa hili linalopatikana katika Hifadhi ya msitu Uporoto (Poroto Ridge) yenye eneo la hekta 9,332 ipatikanayo karibu na vijiji vya Kisanga 4.3km Uyole (24.4km) na mji mdogo wa Tukuyu upatikanayo wilaya ya Rugwe. Zipo imani nyingi potofu juu ya ziwa hilo la maajabu watu husema ziwa hili lilichomwa moto na wakazi wa kijiji cha Mwakaleli kwasababu lilikuwa likileta mikosi mingi kijijini hapo ikiwemo vifo vya mara kwa mara kitu ambacho si sahihi kitaalam ziwa haliwezi kuhama, Zipo imani miongoni mwa watu kuwa ziwa ngosi watu wanapotea kimazingara, kuwapo kwa sauti za watu wasioonekana ndani ya misitu, wengine husema ziwa hilo limekuwa likigeuka rangi mara kwa mara na kuwa na rangi za kijani, bluu, nyeusi na nyeupe kitu ambacho kinawafanya waamini kuwa ziwa hilo sio la kawaida.

Chief mkuu wa wasafwa mkoa wa mbeya Chifu Rocket Masoko Mwanshinga alisema ni jambo la ajabu na kusikitisha sana kuona ziwa ngosi linafahamika sana kwa wageni kuliko wenyeji, hivyo anapenda kutoa wito kwa wadau wote wa utalii kulitangaza ziwa hili ili liweze kufahamika sana ndani na nje ya nchi. alisema jina hilo ni la kisafwa linalotokana na neno Gosi lenye maana ya kubwa hivyo kwa wasafwa walimaanisha ziwa kubwa na pia alisema maji ya ziwa lile ni maji safi na ya baraka tofauti na vile watu wanaamini.

Safari ilijumuisha washiriki 30 kutoka taasisi mbalimbali kama Mbeya Living Lab, FRESOWE, Mbeya Home of Tourism Blog, Mbeya Youth Development Network (Vijana Mbeya) na EGY business solution na watu binafsi ambao kwa ujumla ilikamilisha idadi hiyo ya watu 30.

Safari ilianza eneo la Uyole ya kati Kibao cha Coca Cola mnamo saa 2:00 asubuhi kuelekea ziwani ambapo washiriki karibu wote walikua wamewasili tayari kwa safari tukiwa tunaongozwa na kiongozi mteule kutoka Tanzania Forest Servises (TFS) ajulikanae kwa jina la Mr. Manaseh

Katika safari yetu ilitubidi kugawa makundi mawili ya watu 15 ili kurahisisha kutambuana ambapo kundi namba moja (1) lilikuwa chini ya modesto winfred na kundi namba mbili(2) lilikuwa chini ya amos asajile, hivyo washiriki wote tulifika kituo cha kwanza mnamo saa 4:30 Na kupumzika kwa muda wa dakika 20, ndipo tulipoanza safari kueleke kituo cha pili ambapo ilikuwa ndio sehemu ya juu ya milima inayolizunguka ziwa ngosi tulipumzika na kupata chakula cha mchana, mahali hapa palikuwa na upepo mwanana na baridi kali sana iliyopelekea watu wote kuvaa tena masweta yetu.

Hatukuishia hapo ndipo safari ikaanza tena na hapa ndipo kindumbwe ndumbwe kikaanza kwani ilikuwa sehemu ngumu sana ambayo ikapelekea idadi kubwa ya watu kushuka kwa kutumia makalio, baada ya kumaliza kile kilima ndipo moja kwa moja tukaingia katika ule msitu mnene mithili ya Amazon kutokana na kukosekana kwa alama zenye kuonyesha muelekeo kundi namba mbili (2)  tukapotea na kujikuta tukielekea usawa wa afrika kusini badara ya kwenda ule upande viliko visiwa. Na kibaya zaidi ni kwamba Muwapo ndani ya msitu huo hakuna simu inayoshika kutokana na kukosekana kwa mtandao hivyo ikawa ngumu kuwasiliana na kundi namba (1)  lakini tulipofika mbele tukakuta njia haionyeshi kuwa kuna watu wamepita hivyo tukarudi nyuma na kuikuta njia ambayo wenzetu walipita hivyo kundi namba moja waliwahi kufika lakini kundi namba mbili tukachelewa kidogo kufika.

Kutokana na maelezo tuliyokuwa tumepewa na Tanzania forest services nyanda za juu kusini ilikuwa ngumu kuwaruhusu watu kuogelea hivyo hakuna mdau yeyote aliyeogelea ziwani hapo kwa sababu za kiusalama. Tukapumzika kidogo na kisha tukaanza ratiba ya michezo na matukio mbali mbali kama yalivyokuwa yameandaliwa kama vile kutaja vivutio vipatikanavyo maeneo ya mkoa wa Mbeya (Naijua Mbeya Kuliko wewe), kukimbia na yai katika kijiko na shindano la hisia (kulia) ambapo washindi waliopatikana walikabidhiwa zawadi zao kutoka kwa taasisi wadhamini wa mashindano hayo, mara baada ya kumaliza hayo ndipo saa 9 jioni tukaanza safari ya kurudi kwa makundi kama awali.

Tunamshukuru sana Mwenyezi Mungu aliyekuwa pamoja nasi katika safari yetu kwani wote tulikwenda salama na kurudi salama hakuna hata aliyeumia katika safari hii. Pia tupende kutoa shukrani zetu za dhati kwa taasisi wasiriki, kamati ya utalii ya mkoa wa mbeya na wadau wote walioshiriki ambao kiukweli kutokana na wingi wao itakuwa ngumu kuwataja kwa majina.

Kuna baadhi ya vitu ambavyo vinakwamisha sana kukua ama kufahamika kwa ziwa ngosi miongoni mwa vitu hivyo ni pamoja na, Miundo mbinu mibovu ambayo hupelekea watalii kushindwa kufika kwa urahisi katika eneo husika, Viongozi wachache wa safari (tour guides), Matangazo ya kivutio, Taarifa na maelezo hafifu ya kivutio, Makosa ya matamshi ya jina. Pamoja na hayo Jitihada muhimu zinahitajika ikiwemo kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo unaosababisha udongo kuingia ziwani hivyo kupunguza kina cha ziwa, kujenga angalau ngazi zenye sehemu za kujishikiria katika baadhi ya maeneo ambayo ni tatanishi/magumu kupanda ama kushuka, vyombo mbali mbali vya habari kujitokeza kwa wingi kulitangaza ziwa ngosi, pia kujenga kijisehemu kidogo ambacho kitatoa huduma muhimu ikiwemo chakula na vinywaji.

SUBSTANTIAL investments are needed to enhance the contribution of the tourism sector to the economy and for improved living standards of the people.
Tourism industry is the vehicle for economic development and employment creation. The sector is currently the top foreign exchange earner after overtaking gold exports which suffered global price decline and reduced output. 

According to Bank of Tanzania (BoT) latest monthly economic review, earnings from tourism reached 1.972 billion US dollars in the year between July 2013 and June 2014 up from 1.757 billion US dollars from the previous period. Gold exports earnings from the same period were calculated at about 1.6 billion US dollars.
Speaking to students shortly before commencing a tour to Selous Game Reserve last week, the Minister of Tourism and Natural Resources, Mr Lazaro Nyalandu said there were abundant opportunities in the tourism sector that called for more investments particularly from the private sector.

The base for future development of tourism as a vehicle for economic development, employment creation is now on the hands of the private sector, he said.
"Tourists are prepared to spend more money in one destination than they would if they visited another, as long as they feel they are getting value for money. It is not true that a destination that is expensive will not thrive," he said.
Mr Nyalandu cited the southern part of the country as the destination that offers plenty of opportunities for investors, particularly domestic, like building hotels and campsites and other cultural goods which could earn substantial incomes.

Tourist experience is not measured alone on the beach or wildlife product, rather it is the whole continuum that starts when the tourist first arrives in the country until the moment they leave.
And it extends beyond this all the way back to their place of origin including flight connections and schedules are an important part of the travel experience too.

"I invite investors to take advantage of the abundant opportunities in the southern part of the country, where the TAZARA Railway cut across to invest in hotels and lodges as well as other 2001, sorts of infrastructures to host the increasing number of tourists in the country," he said.
Statistics from the Tanzania Tourism Board (TTB) shows that in 2012, a target of one million tourists was reached with expectations of hitting 1.5 million mark in 2015. All these call for increased investments in the tourism infrastructures to cater for the increased demand.
In 2013 tourists who came to the country for recreational reasons were 890,000 and of those 65,922 came for business tourism and the number has been increasing every year.

"Where the service industry is strong, it signifies a vibrant economic growth of the country," he said, calling for the improved services in the hotel sector in order to meet the international standards.
Commenting on the TAZARA railway that crosses the southern part of the country, Mr Nyalandu said the railway offers huge potential in promoting tourism industry in the country.
Thousands of tourists are among the millions of passengers ferried by the 1860 kilometres TAZARA rail line from Dar es Salaam to New Kapirimposhi in Zambia. It crosses in some of the most unique and spectacular tourist sites. Last year, the country registered a 1.73 per cent increase of tourist arrivals to 1,095,884 from 1,077,058 in 2012.

During the period, foreign exchange earnings from industry climbed to 1.88 billion US dollars up from 1.7 billion US dollars in the preceding year.
The Selous Game Reserve Manager, Mr Benson Kibonde, urged students who toured the game reserve to cultivate the 'love for tourist attractions' as a way forward to become real investors and promoters of tourism investments.

The Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania, Dr Lu Youqing said at the event that apart from promoting economic growth, TAZARA was an important symbol for improving conservation in the country's largest wildlife reserves where it crosses.
The railway line starts from Dar es Salaam through Kazimzumbwi forest, one of the oldest forest in the world and the savannah wooded plain, where the major southern national parks of Mikumi, Udzungwa and Selous Game Reserve are located.
From there, TAZARA crosses the Great Ruaha River, towards Kilombero Flood Plains. Then it passes through tunnels under Udzungwa Mountain ranges and adjoining Kipengere Ranges to Makambako Plateau.

From Makambako the train runs on the foot of Kipengere Ranges and at the edge of Rift Valley to Mbeya. From Mbeya the train passes though smaller train stations of Mbalizi, Songwe, the Uporoto Ranges of Shikula, Mlowo, Vwawa before it arrives at Tunduma.
TAZARA Acting Managing Director Ronald Phiri said the railway not only eases mobility for some of the most disadvantaged rural communities in Tanzania and Zambia, but also provides a public railway service that is very predictable, reliable, safe and convenient.
Therefore, greater public-private sector cooperation and coordination is required in order to plan, promote, market and regulate the tourism industry in a manner that will ultimately prove to be sustainable and successful.

Tanzania is widely recognised to have unparalleled tourism potential both in terms of abundance and variety of its attractions.
The country is best known as the "Land of Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and The Serengeti, to describe it as the home to Africa's highest mountain and the tallest freestanding mountain in the world; Ngorongoro Crater - the largest unbroken caldera in the world which is renowned for its abundance and variety of species of wildlife and The Serengeti, where the largest animal migration in the world takes place.

Hayo yamesemwa na Afisa Ufugaji Nyuki Mwandamizi wa wakala huo Bw. Steven Msemo leo jijini Dar es salaam wakati wa mkutano na waandishi wa habari uliolenga kuhamasisha jamii kushiriki katika ufaugaji wa nyuki.

Akifafanua Msemo amebainisha kuwa mizinga ya nyuki takribani 14,000 imetengenezwa na kugawiwa wananchi wanaoishi jirani na Misitu ikiwa ni moja ya mikakati ya Serikali katika kukuza sekta hiyo.

“Wakala wa Huduma za misitu Tanzania kama Taasisi inayo mizinga 3,870 iliyo katika manzuki mbalimbali katika kanda saba na katika mashamba ya miti kwa lengo la kuzalisha na sehemu ya mafunzo kwa jamii “alisisitiza Msemo

Katika kuwajengea uwezo wananchi Msemo amebainisha kuwa Wataalamu wa ufugaji nyuki wamekuwa wakiwajengea uwezo wananchi kwa kuwapa mbinu za kusimamia makundi ya nyuki na kuzalisha malkia ili kuondokana na mazoea ya kutundika mizinga na kuacha hadi kipindi cha mavuno.

Aidha, Wakala umekuwa ukihamasisha asasi zinazojikita na kutengeneza vifaa vya ufugaji nyuki kuzingatia utaalamu na vipimo vya mizinga.

Tanzania ni moja kati ya nchi zenye utajiri mkubwa wa makundi ya nyuki yenye uwezo wa kuzalisha asali na mazao mengine ya nyuki mfano Nta,Gundi ya nyuki na chavua.
