$100.00
Tour Description
Spotting the big five, especially the rhinoceros can be a challenge during one’s safari in Tanzania. What if you could ensure your guests to not only view the two highly endangered species, the black rhino and the African wild dog; but guarantee a safe encounter from a very very short distance away? Well now you can…
In the recent months TANAPA have enabled visitors to enter the Rhino Sanctuary in Mkomazi National Park situated only 107km from East Point Hotel taking no more than 1 hour 45 minutes drive to reach there.
Day 1
East Point Hotel check-in: drive your guests to East Point Hotel, located conveniently in Moshi – Tanzania, near the Mbuyuni Market. Once guests have checked in, they can enjoy the excellent view of the Kilimanjaro Mountain from its rooftop; enjoy a delicious and satisfying dinner, followed by an overnight stay.
Day 2
Zange Gate: after an early morning breakfast, your safari guide can depart with the guests and packed lunch boxes to Zange Gate, Mkomazi National Park. A fast registration process is to be completed upon arrival at the head quarters. Guests may opt for a walking safari to start with or directly proceed for a game drive.
Packed lunch box: the spectacular views of Usambara Mountains on the game drive create a wonderful backdrop for the national park and upon luck with clear skies, the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen too. Enjoy your packed lunch at the picnic spot overlooking a distant lake.
Game drive: with a wide variety of wildlife, including herds of giraffe, eland, hartebeest, elephants, 450+ species of birds, and more; continue the drive through the park with the aim to reach the Sanctuary by 3:00pm.
The Sanctuary: guests drop off and walk to see the largest wild canine in Africa, known as the African wild dog, the descendants of wolves; as they await the TANAPA’s 4×4 Land Rover open vehicle. Once the ranger approaches, guests can hop onto the vehicle to be driven closer to the watering hole point where a group of rhinos meet approximately around 4:00pm. Enjoy the remarkable sights and movements of the rhinos possibly just a metre or so away!
Moshi return: head back to Moshi after an exciting day, for a hot shower, filling dinner and an overnight stay.
