The majestic black rhino and the friendly African wild dog, both of which were successfully reintroduced in the 1990s, rely on Mkomazi National Park for their survival. Wild dogs, which are nomadic by nature, may be found virtually everywhere in the park, while black rhinos are confined to a gated sanctuary, insuring their safety and prosperity for future generations.

With our Tanzania Safari Packages, you can see everything that this massive national park has to offer.

The magnificent fringe-eared Oryx, with its long back – sweeping horns, and the beautiful spiral – horned lesser kudu are two dry-country specialists seen in Mkomazi that are uncommon elsewhere in Tanzania Safari. The gerenuk, a gazelle with a thin neck, strange alien-like head, and habit of rising erect on its hind legs to reach acacia leaves that other browsers can’t reach, is the oddest of them.

This new Mkomazi National Park, which has been a game reserve since 1951, gets its name from the Pare tribe’s phrase for “scoop of water,” which refers to a little amount of water. It’s a great place to go if you’re looking for a Tanzania Wilderness Adventure or if you’re a birdwatcher. Dry-country endemics like the cobalt-chested vulturine guineafowl, other big ground birds like the ostrich, kori bustard, secretary bird, ground hornbill, and some migratory species like the Eurasian roller are among the more than 450 avian species documented.
