Why should you visit? Mkomazi National Park contains 90% of all botanic species found in Tanzania, with one third classified as unique in the world. It is also home to the Mkomazi Rhino Project. This involves the re-introduction of a number of black rhinos from South Africa, which, it is hoped, will breed before being relocated to traditional natural habitats within Tanzania. Moreover, butterfly lovers will find Mkomazi particularly rewarding, as it is home to some of the 3,500 species of butterflies, and a far greater variety of moth. Additionally, over 450 avian species have been recorded in the park, including the cobalt-chested vulturine, guinea fowl, and some migratory species such as the Eurasian roller.
