Mkomazi National Park

Mkomazi National Park is a hidden gem in northern Tanzania, located along the border with Kenya and overlooking the majestic Pare and Usambara Mountains. This peaceful and less-visited park offers a true wilderness experience, ideal for travelers seeking exclusivity and unspoiled nature.

Mkomazi is internationally recognized for its successful black rhino and African wild dog conservation programs, making it one of the few places in Tanzania where these rare species can be seen. The park is also home to elephants, giraffes, zebras, elands, oryx, hartebeest, and a wide variety of birdlife.

With Travel with Shira, visitors enjoy uncrowded game drives across open savannah landscapes, stunning mountain views, and a strong focus on conservation and sustainable tourism. Mkomazi is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers looking to explore beyond the classic safari routes.

The best time to visit Mkomazi National Park is during the dry season from June to October, when wildlife is easier to spot and road conditions are excellent. The green season (November to May) offers beautiful scenery and excellent birdwatching, especially from December to March.
