Discover Mkomazi

Bordering Kenya's Tsavo West, Mkomazi is a dry, rugged park with views of Kilimanjaro and important conservation projects for black rhinos and African wild dogs.

Mkomazi's semi-arid landscape supports dry-country species such as gerenuk and fringe-eared oryx. It is a peaceful, little-visited stop between the northern parks and the Usambara Mountains or the coast.
