2 Days Mkomazi National Park

Tour Overview

Mkomazi National Park is one of Tanzania’s least-visited yet most unique wildlife destinations, located near the Kenyan border and forming part of the great Tsavo ecosystem. Known for its dry, dramatic landscapes, this park offers sightings of rare species like the gerenuk, fringe-eared oryx, and lesser kudu. Most notably, Mkomazi is home to a specialized Rhino Sanctuary that supports the conservation of the critically endangered black rhino—making this safari perfect for conservation enthusiasts and adventurous travelers seeking something off the beaten path. On this 2-day journey with Pangolin Travelers Expedition, you’ll enjoy classic game drives and gain exclusive access to the Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary, where you can observe these majestic animals in a protected environment. Combined with the park’s breathtaking scenery and unique wildlife, this short getaway offers a rare and meaningful safari experience in northern Tanzania.

Day 1: Arusha – Mkomazi National Park & Rhino Sanctuary

Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha early in the morning, and you’ll begin the scenic drive eastward toward Mkomazi National Park, passing through towns and rural landscapes along the Pare and Usambara mountains. After park entry formalities, you’ll begin your game drive through Mkomazi’s rugged savannahs and semi-arid acacia woodlands. The park hosts elephants, giraffes, zebras, elands, hartebeests, and occasionally African wild dogs. In the afternoon, you will visit the Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary, a secure reserve within the park established to protect black rhinos. Here, you’ll have a unique opportunity to learn about the conservation efforts underway and view these rare creatures in a safe habitat. After a fulfilling day, you’ll drive to Elephant Motel in Same, located near the park’s boundary, for dinner and overnight.
