Mkomazi National Park is a magnificent, 3,245 square kilometre national park in northern Tanzania. The name was derived from the Pare tribe’s word for “scoop of water” meaning little water as the area is too dry, especially during the dry season.
The Mkomazi National Park is a spectacular wilderness. Within sight to the northwest is Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest summit. To the south, the Pare and Usambara Mountains form a dramatic backdrop and, to the north, Kenya’s vast Tsavo National Park shares a border with Mkomazi, making common ground for migratory herds of elephant, oryx and zebra during the wet season. Together with Tsavo, it forms one of the largest and most important protected ecosystems on earth.
