Mkomazi National Park protects savannah and semi-arid habitats in north-eastern Tanzania. It is especially associated with conservation programmes for black rhinos and African wild dogs, alongside a wider landscape of woodland, plains and birdlife. A visit can add a different perspective to a northern or eastern Tanzania route. Sanctuary visits and specialist activities need specific arrangements; they are planned separately from general wildlife viewing and depend on park availability.
