1. Mkomazi National Park
The Mkomazi National Park is a magnificent,
3,500 square kilometres national park in northern Tanzania. Remote and
initially inaccessible, it was established in 1951, but never attracted the
financial support provided for the better known wildlife strongholds such as
the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Parks. Only since
1989, when the Tanzanian Government re-examined the reserve's status and
designated it a National Priority Project, has its true significance and
importance been recognized. Nowadays it is good accessible. From Mambo
Viewpoint it is only one and a half hour drive to the Kivingo entrance.
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.
