**Mkomazi National Park** is a rugged, semi-arid wilderness in north-eastern Tanzania, set against the dramatic backdrop of the **Pare and Usambara mountains** and sharing a border with Kenya’s vast Tsavo. Its open, acacia-dotted plains have a wild, remote atmosphere and see very few visitors.
Mkomazi plays a crucial conservation role as home to a fenced **black rhino sanctuary** and a breeding programme for the endangered **African wild dog**. Beyond these flagship species, the park supports dry-country specialists such as the gerenuk, lesser kudu, oryx and the tall, elegant giraffe, along with elephant, giraffe and a rich variety of birds. For travellers who value solitude and a conservation story, Mkomazi is a rewarding, off-the-beaten-track choice.
