Days Five to Six: Mkomazi Game Reserve

Leave in the morning from Marangu and drive to Mkomazi Game Reserve. It serves as a buffer to the adjacent Tsavo National Park in Kenya. The Pare and the Usambara Mountains form the boundary in the south.

The two mountain ranges in the background scenery, alternating from sparse tree savannas to grassland, are the reason for a such an imposing and breathtaking landscape; and due to protection measures put in place, the number of animals has increased substantially.

Although there are not as many animals as in some of the more well-known national parks, the wonderful landscape more than compensates for this.

Besides a multitude of other game, it has the largest population of Gerenuk antelope in Tanzania. Bird enthusiasts can observe approximately 400 different species of birds there. Mkomazi is also famous for it’s breeding projects of African wild dogs, and the rare black rhino run by the George Adamson / Tony Fitzjohn African Wildlife Preservation Trust.
