Mkomazi National Park

Mkomazi National Park, located in northeastern Tanzania, is a hidden gem known for its diverse ecosystems and stunning landscapes. Nestled between Mount Kilimanjaro and the Usambara Mountains, this park encompasses savannahs, acacia woodlands, and riverine forests. It is a crucial conservation area for endangered species, including the African wild dog and the black rhino, and is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, and over 400 bird species, making it a paradise for nature lovers and birdwatchers.

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Mkomazi National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. This period offers the most favourable conditions for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around limited water sources, making them easier to spot on game drives. The weather is warm and generally dry, with clear skies enhancing the park's beautiful landscapes.

Mkomazi is a pristine wilderness where conservation efforts are changing the fate of endangered species.

While the dry months are ideal for spotting large mammals like elephants and the elusive African wild dog, the wet season, from November to May, brings lush greenery and a spectacular influx of migratory birds, making it an excellent time for birdwatchers. Each season offers unique experiences, so plan your visit according to your interests to fully enjoy the natural wonders of Mkomazi National Park.

How to Get There

Mkomazi National Park is accessible from Moshi, approximately 120 kilometers away. Visitors can reach the park via guided tours that provide transportation or opt for self-driving, enjoying the scenic journey through Tanzania's countryside.
