Mkomazi Game Reserve
Located just east of the Pare Mountains in Tanzania’s Eastern Arc
range, and situated just south of the border with Kenya, Mkomazi
Game Reserve is the focus of an intensive breeding program to save
the endangered black rhinos. Adjacent to Tsavo National Park in
Kenya, Mkomazi’s tourist facilities are exceedingly sparse and
limited, and travel to the area is often neglected in favour of more
accessible national parks and reserves.
The savannah and grasslands around Mkomazi Game Reserve may be
perfect for black rhinos, but it is dry and dusty for most of the
year. When frequented water holes dry up, game becomes elusive and
hard to find. Compared to larger and more populated national parks,
Mkomazi Game Reserve has its own unique appeal. wild dogs have
recently been introduced to the region, and the reserve does have a
wide variety of indigenous snakes. |
