Parc national de Mkomazi

Tucked into northeast Tanzanie, Parc national de Mkomazi delivers a tranquil safari experience far from crowds. In its dry Somali‑Masai plains, you’ll encounter wildlife adapted to arid conditions: fringe‑eared oryx, gerenuks, lesser kudu, and elands, set against baobabs and rocky hills.

The landscape is framed by the Pare and Usambara ranges, with Kilimanjaro visible on clear days. Named from the Pare word meaning “scoop of water,” Mkomazi is evocative of its sparse, rugged terrain, pristine, wild, and deeply peaceful.

Covering around 3,200 sq km, Mkomazi lies within a larger cross‑border ecosystem shared with Kenya’s Tsavo. Its terrain includes semi‑arid savannah, acacia and baobab woodlands, rocky kopjes, and rolling plains:
