Mkomazi National Park

Mkomazi National Park is a hidden gem in Tanzania’s northern region, offering an arid landscape that is a stark contrast to the country’s other lush parks. It forms part of a larger transboundary ecosystem with Kenya’s Tsavo National Park, providing a crucial corridor for migratory herds. Mkomazi is a testament to successful conservation, most notably for its efforts in protecting black rhinos and African wild dogs.
