Who makes Kiboko tanks
Kiboko is the brand of Kiboko Plastics, a plastics manufacturer based at Plot No. 30/4 in the Mikocheni Light Industrial Area, Dar es Salaam, according to the address on the tanks page of the company website (kibokoplastics.com, checked on 12 November 2026). Water tanks are one of four product groups the company lists on its site, next to PVC, HDPE and PP-R pipes from 20 to 450 mm, PET preforms and containers, and packaging materials including damp-proof membrane (DPM) and damp-proof course (DPC).
The same site states that its tanks are made both by blow moulding and by rotational moulding, in sizes from 200 litres up to 10,000 litres.
Kiboko tank sizes and build
The tanks page gives the range rather than a size-by-size table:
| What the maker states | Kiboko tanks |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 200 L to 10,000 L |
| Height | 800 mm to 2730 mm |
| Width | 650 mm to 2080 mm |
| Mouth (inlet opening) | 370 mm to 450 mm |
| Material | LLDPE resin with high environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) |
| Wall | triple layered, with an insulated middle layer |
Kiboko Plastics also describes the tanks as lightweight, maintenance-free and safe for drinking water, and says the middle layer keeps water cool. These are the maker’s own claims. To fill a tank from a well or borehole, see water pumps. For the exact height and width of a given size, ask the seller for the data of that model before building a stand; the general guide to water tanks has a size-by-size table from another maker for comparison.
Kiboko tank prices
No seller with a published price for a named Kiboko size was found on 12 November 2026. One online shop lists a Kiboko heavy-duty polyethylene tank at a single price without saying which capacity it refers to, so it cannot be compared and is not shown here. Kiboko tanks prices and a Kiboko tank price list are best requested from the maker or its dealers. Prices of other tank brands, with sizes and dates, are on the water tank price page.
Does Kitovu stock Kiboko tanks?
No. Kitovu does not stock Kiboko tanks or other water tanks. For water stored in a lined earth pond rather than a tank, Kitovu keeps HDPE Geomembrane (Dam Liner), Smooth, 0.3 mm in Zanzibar, sold for ponds, water pans and reservoirs.
