Rhino Safari in Mkomazi
This safari trip to Mkomazi, one of Tanzania’s least-traveled national parks, is perfect for those who value nature conservation, wild landscapes and privacy. Mkomazi is home to the endangered black rhino and African wild dog, both protected through conservation projects that your visit directly supports. You’ll visit the rhino sanctuary and, on top of that, may spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, oryx, and lesser kudu roaming the plains. This itinerary is great for those coming off Kilimanjaro, thanks to Mkomazi’s convenient location just 3 hours from Moshi. It’s also an excellent add-on for travelers interested in rare wildlife or wanting to escape the typical safari circuit. Altezza Travel actively supports the conservation efforts at Mkomazi, including sponsoring the rhino sanctuary. One of the newborn rhinos there was even named after Altezza — and we’ve been supporting it ever since!

- Moshi and Arusha-based accommodations usually include breakfast only, unless requested and agreed otherwise. Please refer to the program to see your meal plans on each night
- Most safari lodges usually do not include tea, coffee, soft and alcoholic drinks not to have you overpay for beverages you don't need. You will be able to order and pay for drinks at the hotels' restaurants
- Tented lodges are the most common type of accommodation in savannah. Many of them work on solar energy. This sometimes means bucket showers, limited wi-fi and no hair dryers, all in an effort to reduce environmental impact. We encourage you to do some basic research on the accommodations in your program to ensure the safari matches your travel style
