1. Sanctuary for Endangered Species
Mkomazi is one of Tanzania’s most important conservation areas, protecting endangered species such as black rhinos, African wild dogs, and the rare Grevy’s zebra. Visitors have the exceptional opportunity to see these animals in their natural habitat, alongside lions, leopards, giraffes, elands, and other plains game. This makes the park especially rewarding for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.
2. Off-the-Beaten-Path and Less Crowded
The park is home to some of Tanzania’s most impressive waterfalls, with Sanje Waterfalls being the highlight. Plunging approximately 170 meters into a natural pool, these falls provide a spectacular sight. Visitors can hike to the base, enjoy swimming in the clear pools, and capture stunning photographs in a pristine rainforest setting.
3. Stunning and Varied Landscapes
The park showcases diverse scenery, from semi-arid savannahs and acacia woodlands to seasonal rivers and rugged volcanic hills. These contrasting landscapes create dramatic backdrops for wildlife viewing and photography, especially during sunrise and sunset, revealing a lesser-known side of Tanzania’s wilderness.
