Mkomazi National Park

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Mkomazi National Park is during the dry season, which typically occurs from June to October. During this period, vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot, and animals congregate around water sources, providing excellent opportunities for game viewing. The dry season also coincides with Mkomazi's peak tourist season, offering optimal weather conditions for safari activities and wildlife photography. However, for those seeking a quieter experience and opportunities for birdwatching, the wet season from November to May brings lush greenery and migratory bird species to the park.

Wildlife

  • African Elephants: Mkomazi is home to a significant population of African elephants, which can often be seen traversing the park's vast savannah plains and browsing on the acacia trees. Visitors may encounter these gentle giants as they gather around waterholes or explore on long journeys in search of food and water.
  • Black Rhinoceros: Mkomazi National Park is one of the last strongholds for the critically endangered black rhinoceros, with a successful conservation program aimed at protecting these iconic animals. Visitors have the rare opportunity to observe black rhinos in their natural habitat, with sightings becoming increasingly common as the population continues to rebound.
  • Lions: Mkomazi supports a population of lions, although sightings can be less frequent compared to other parks in Tanzania. Visitors may be lucky enough to spot these majestic predators as they patrol their territories or rest in the shade of rocky outcrops.
  • Grevy's Zebras: Mkomazi is renowned for its population of Grevy's zebras, a rare and endangered subspecies known for their distinctive stripes and large ears. Visitors may encounter these elegant equids as they roam the park's grasslands in small herds.
  • Birdlife: Mkomazi National Park is a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 450 bird species recorded within its borders. Highlights include the colourful lilac-breasted roller, the majestic martial eagle, and the elusive vulturine guineafowl.
