-Mkomazi National Park is one of the driest areas in Tanzania – in the local Pare language it means “little water” – yet still boasts an incredibly diverse flora and fauna with a high endemic population of species. Of the 1500 plant species identified so far over 50% do not occur anywhere else.
-Giraffe, oryx, gerenuk, hartebeest, lesser kudu, eland, impala and Grant's gazelle share the reserve with elephant, buffalo, and numerous predators, including lion, leopard and cheetah. In all, 78 species of mammals have been recorded. The birds of Mkomazi are even more numerous, with over 400 recorded species.
-The Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary was planned by the Trust and the Wildlife Division in 1991/92 and constructed by the Trust between 1995-1997. Through a series of complex international operations, 15 black rhino were translocated to Mkomazi from South Africa, the UK and the Czech Republic.
