International border
The town lies at the International border between Tanzania to the south and Kenya to the north. In keeping with East African Community recommendations and guidelines, the Lunga Lunga border crossing was converted to a one-stop border crossing. Infrastructure was modified to allow both humans and cargo to be cleared by Kenyan and Tanzanian authorities at one physical location, in real time.{{cite web| url=https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/business/Kenya-on-track-to-complete-five-one-stop-border-posts/-/2560/2271794/-/ro5ain/-/index.html|accessdate=27 January 2015|title=Kenya On Track To Complete Five One-Stop Border Posts| first=Scola|last=Kamau|newspaper=The EastAfrican (Nairobi)| date=5 April 2014}}{{cite web|accessdate=27 January 2015| url=https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/Kenya-set-to-complete-six-one-stop-border-posts/-/2558/2435090/-/ihl9tjz/-/index.html| title=Kenya Set To Complete Six One-Stop Border Posts|date=30 August 2015|first=Joshua|last=Masinde|newspaper=The EastAfrican (Nairobi)}}
