Tanzania's government has informed UNESCO's World Heritage Committee that it will continue with its proposal to build a highway through the north but without the 53 kilometre (33 mile) stretch crossing the national park.
"The World Heritage Committee has received assurance on the part of the Tanzanian government that the highway project is abandoned," an official at the UN's education, science and culture organisation told AFP on Saturday.
"The committee has therefore decided not to list the site on its list of endangered World Heritage Sites because the threat has disappeared."
Phewx!! That was Close...
