Bordering Tsavo West National Park in Kenya, Mkomazi is a sanctuary for endangered species like the black rhino and African wild dog, alongside elephants, giraffes, and striking birdlife. Its semi‑arid landscapes and rugged beauty make it one of Tanzania's most unique destinations.

Location

Mkomazi lies in northern Tanzania, near Kilimanjaro and the Usambara Mountains. Covering 3,245 square kilometers, the park forms part of the greater Tsavo ecosystem, creating a vital corridor for migratory species between Tanzania and Kenya.
