Tanzania & Burundi Launch $2.15B Railway – East Africa’s Game Changer

A historic $2.15 billion railway is breaking ground between Tanzania and Burundi — and it could transform East Africa forever.

This electrified standard gauge railway, launched in Musongati, will slash travel times from days to hours, connect Burundi’s massive nickel reserves to global markets, and reinforce Tanzania’s role as a regional trade hub. But the story doesn’t end there. Leaders envision a future corridor linking the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic — a game-changing route for Africa’s trade and development.

Backed by the African Development Bank, China Railway Group, and regional governments, this mega project is more than steel and tracks. It’s about economic growth, integration, and unlocking Africa’s mineral wealth.
