Discover the untamed beauty of Makuyuni Wildlife Park. Nestled in Northern Tanzania within the vast and scenic landscapes of Arusha Region, Makuyuni Wildlife Park spans 47.2 km2 of untouched wilderness in Monduli District. Now flourishing under the stewardship of the Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA) since October 2023.
Makuyuni lies at the northern tip of the iconic Tarangire Manyara Ecosystem, a critical wildlife corridor rich in biodiversity. Visitors are treated to sightings of Africa’s most iconic species including elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, wild dogs, giraffes, and the rare fringe-eared oryx and both greater and lesser kudu. With over 141 recorded bird species, the park is a birder’s paradise.
Beyond wildlife, the surrounding Maasai communities add cultural depth, offering immersive experiences that celebrate heritage and harmony with nature. With rolling hills, open savannahs, and breathtaking valleys, Makuyuni Wildlife Park is Tanzania’s hidden gem raw, real, and ready to be.
