Unique Wildlife & Scenic Safaris

Mkomazi National Park is a 3,500 sq km wilderness in northern Tanzania, a hidden gem for authentic safari expereinces. Located near Mount Kilimanjaro and bordering Kenya’s Tsavo National Park, Mkomazi forms part of one of Africa’s largest protected ecosystems, providing vital habitat for migratory herds of elephants, oryx, and zebras.

This dry Sahel-zone park features bushlands, rocky hills, ancient baobabs, and open savannahs dotted with umbrella acacias and grassy mbugas. Wildlife thrives here naturally, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, oryx, hartebeest, eland, impala, and Grant’s gazelle.

Mkomazi is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 400 species such as hornbills, doves, weavers, guinea-fowl, martial eagles, and violet wood-hoopoes. The park is a sanctuary for endangered species, including black rhinos and African wild dogs, making it a top choice for conservation-focused travelers.

Unlike Tanzania’s northern parks, Mkomazi is less crowded, offering a peaceful safari experience where animals behave naturally. It’s an affordable, off-the-beaten-path alternative for wildlife enthusiasts seeking a truly authentic African safari.
