Visitor Centre Built in Mahale Park

In January 2000, a Visitor Centre was finally built at Bilenge in the headquarter of the Mahale Mountains National Park. The Centre was donated to the Park by the Mahale Wildlife Conservation Society with the financial support of about US$ 20,000 by the Japan Environment Corporation. In September 2000, T. Nishida, co-chairman of MWCS visited the Centre for the first time after it was completed and donated a television set and video equipment.
The Visitor Centre has been used for various activities including even the polling station for the President of Tanzania in October.
