 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.
