Overview

Escape the crowds on a private day safari to Mkomazi National Park, one of Tanzania's least visited parks. While the northern circuit fills with vehicles, here you often have the bush, and the sightings, to yourself.

Mkomazi is semi-arid savannah at the foot of the Pare and Usambara Mountains, close to the Kenyan border. It is the place to see dry-country animals that are rare elsewhere in Tanzania, like gerenuk, lesser kudu and fringe-eared oryx, along with elephants, giraffes, zebras and buffalo. The park protects endangered black rhinos and runs a breeding program for African wild dogs, and more than 450 bird species have been recorded.

Your driver-guide picks you up in Moshi and drives about 3 hours to Zange Gate. You spend around 6 hours on game drives with a picnic lunch, then return to Moshi in the evening. Park and vehicle fees, lunch and water are included. A visit to the rhino sanctuary can be added for an extra fee.

What's included

  • Picnic lunch box served inside the park
  • Mkomazi National Park entrance and vehicle fees
  • Bottled water
  • Private 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with pop-up roof
  • Tips for your driver-guide are optional
  • Optional black rhino sanctuary visit (extra fee, paid on the day)

What to expect

Enter Mkomazi National Park at Zange Gate near Same for a full private game drive through dry savannah and acacia bush at the foot of the Pare and Usambara Mountains. Mkomazi is one of Tanzania's quietest parks, so you often have sightings to yourself. Look out for dry-country species you will not see on the northern circuit, such as gerenuk, lesser kudu and fringe-eared oryx, plus elephants, giraffes, zebras and buffalo. The park is home to a protected population of endangered black rhino and a breeding program for African wild dogs, and over 450 bird species have been recorded here. A picnic lunch is served at a scenic spot inside the park.
