EXPLORE MKOMAZI NATIONAL PARK

Mkomazi National Park is set below the verdant slopes of the stunning Usambara and Eastern Arc mountain ranges, overseen by the iconic snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro. This park serves as a refuge for the critically endangered Black Rhino and endangered African Wild Dog.

MKOMAZI NATIONAL PARK OVERVIEW
Remote and initially inaccessible, Mkomazi National Park was established in 1951, but never attracted the financial support provided for the better known wildlife strongholds such as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Park. Only since 1989, when the Tanzanian Government re-examined the reserve’s status and designated it a National Priority Project, has its true significance and importance been recognized. Mkomazi now functions as an important stronghold for the conservation of the critically endangered Black Rhinoceros and the endangered African Wild Dog.
