Explore Mkomazi National Park
Nestled in northeastern Tanzania, on the border with Kenya’s Tsavo National Park, Mkomazi National Park is a hidden gem offering raw landscapes, endangered species, and true solitude in the wild. Unlike the more crowded safari parks, Mkomazi gives you the feeling of having Africa all to yourself — with open savannahs, volcanic hills, and the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Pare on clear days.
Best Time to Visit
June to October (Dry Season): Best for wildlife viewing, clear skies, and open terrain
