MKOMAZI NATIONAL PARK
Mkomazi National Park
Nestled in northern Tanzania lies the hidden gem of Mkomazi National Park, a stunning 3,500 square kilometre wilderness that has remained off the beaten path until recently. Despite being established in 1951, it has never received the same attention and funding as its famous counterparts, such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. However, since its designation as a National Priority Project in 1989, its true value has been recognized, and it's now more accessible than ever before.
Mkomazi National Park offers a unique and breathtaking experience, with magnificent views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the dramatic Pare and Usambara Mountains forming a stunning backdrop. To the north lies Kenya's Tsavo National Park, creating a common ground for migratory herds of elephant, oryx, and zebra during the wet season. Together, Mkomazi and Tsavo form one of the most significant protected ecosystems on the planet.
With its classic dry-country reserve of grey-green nyika bush, ancient baobab trees, and rocky hills, Mkomazi is a sight to behold. You'll also find open savannah woodlands of umbrella acacias and mbugas - shallow valleys of grassland. If you're seeking an authentic wilderness experience that's off the beaten track, Mkomazi National Park is the perfect destination for you.
