Tailored to your itinerary
Mkomazi National Park lies in northeastern Tanzania along the Kenyan border and forms part of the greater Tsavo–Mkomazi ecosystem. Its dry savannah, acacia woodland and rugged landscapes create a very different safari experience from Tanzania’s greener northern parks.
The park is especially important for conservation. It is home to the Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary and supports African wild dogs, while visitors may also encounter species such as fringe-eared oryx, gerenuk, lesser kudu and a wide variety of birds. The quieter atmosphere makes Mkomazi appealing to travelers looking for a more remote and less crowded wildlife experience.
