Tanzania is prioritising rhino tourism as it prepares to welcome back tourists in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mkomazi National Park in the northern tourist circuit, a five-and-a-half-hour drive south of Mount Kilimanjaro, has been declared a rhino sanctuary where tourists can view the critically endangered animals in a 30sqkm area.

The 3 270 sqkm park is the first of its kind in East Africa to specialise in rhino tourism, while also facilitating an African wild dog breeding programme.
