The Reptiles of Mkomazi National Park, Tanzania an Updated Checklist with Some Aspects of Biogeography
Journal of East African Natural History 108(2): 81–98 (2019) THE REPTILES OF MKOMAZI NATIONAL PARK, TANZANIA AN UPDATED CHECKLIST WITH SOME ASPECTS OF BIOGEOGRAPHY Glory W. Summay, Kevin E. Lyakurwa Mkomazi National Park P.O. Box 41, Same, Tanzania [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] John V. Lyakurwa, Chacha Werema Department of Zoology and Wildlife Conservation, University of Dar es Salaam P.O. Box 35064, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania [email protected]; [email protected] Tito J. Lanoy Department of Wildlife, College of African Wildlife Management P. O Box 3031, Moshi, Tanzania [email protected] Raymond E. Okick Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute P.O Box 661, Arusha, Tanzania [email protected] ABSTRACT The Mkomazi National Park (MNP) is a protected area representing three major biomes, yet it remains poorly known from a herpetological perspective. Intensive surveys for reptiles were carried out in the MNP during dry and wet seasons in 2018, with the main focus of updating the existing data and assessing the influence of the three biomes on the park’s species composition. Various methods were used to document 55 species, most of which were found during the dry season. The checklist of reptiles of MNP is now updated to 73 species, 97% of which are typical of the Somalia-Maasai biome, equivalent to 54% of all Somalia-Maasai biome species in Tanzania. The MNP was found to be the most discordant in species composition from the contiguous Pare and Usambara Mountains, the latter two areas harbouring Afromontane forest-dependent species.

Northern Tanzania Wildlife Safari
Northern Tanzania Wildlife Safari August 7 -18, 2021, with extension Aug. 18-21 The Great Migration of the Serengeti is surely one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife phenomena. Equally impressive are the self-contained ecosystem of Ngorongoro Crater and the diverse habitats of Tarangire National Park. This safari con- centrates on these wildlife-rich areas so that you get more observation time and less travel than a trip that tries to cover too many areas superficially. Your leaders know these areas well and can give you the very best experience possible. We also offer a wonderful short extension to Mkomazi National Park, which you should consider if you have the time and resources to do so, as it is a different ecosystem with mammals (e.g., wild dogs) and birds unlikely to be seen elsewhere. Our January-February safari focuses on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti, but at this time of year, the action is in the north, especially along the Mara River, where we should have a good chance to see the dramatic river-crossings of the herds and plenty of predators. It’s the dry season in parks like Tarangire, so the river and marshes there attract large numbers of animals, both predator and prey. If an African safari could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you, then make it the best! And do it with expert leadership, people who know the patterns and behaviors of wildlife—who not only can find and spot the wildlife but who also can provide the rich details of context that makes this more than merely accumulating lists.

A 13-Day Wildlife Safari To
Tanzania Safari March 4–17, 2019 with Mark Faherty Optional Extension to Kenya: March 17–22, 2019 Wildlife Crossing, Yellow-billed Storks ©Classic Escapes; Pool, © Tarangire Safari Lodge Tanzania/Kenya, Mar 4–22, 2019 with Mark Faherty Tour Overview The greatest wildlife spectacle on earth! Even if you have been there before, it “never gets old.” Our tour includes world-class birding and abundant wildlife views of the big mammals: elephant, Giraffe, zebra, African Lion, Leopard, and Cheetah in the famous national parks and of Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro (conservation area), and, of course, the Serengeti. Arusha National Park is a small but popular park with great birding and extinct volcanoes covered in thick forest. Tarangire National Park is famous for the many baobab trees and high elephant populations. Lake Manyara National Park is a comparatively compact area nestled beneath the cliffs of the Great Rift Valley with spring-fed forests, thick acacia bush, and a soda lake, which, at times, holds a large variety of waterbirds including flamingos, ibises, storks, and ducks. Ngorongoro is the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world, but also famous for the grasslands and lakes of the crater floor, where we may find the endangered Black Rhinoceros. The main tour ends in the Serengeti. A vast unspoiled, rolling savannah and woodlands, which hosts the most spectacular concentration of animals during migration and calving. Over one million Blue Wildebeests (along with hundreds of thousands of Thomson’s Gazelles and Common Zebras can be found in the huge park during February- March. A moderately paced tour with good-to-excellent accommodations (in lodges as well as tents).

Black Rhino Conservation in Tanzania: Translocation Efforts and Further Challenges
Black rhino conservation in Tanzania: translocation efforts and further challenges Robert D. Fyumagwa1*, Julius W. Nyahongo2 1Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI), P. O. Box 661, Arusha, Tanzania; email: [email protected] 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Dodoma, P. O. Box 259 Dodoma, Tanzania; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract Tanzania had many black rhinos (Diceros bicornis) in the 1960s but was hit by ruthless poaching between the 1970s and late 1980s. From the 1990s, the country declared a war against unscrupulous poachers in order to conserve the few remaining rhinos. The current strategy is to reintroduce black rhinos that were originally from East Africa in order to increase genetic diversity. Three translocations of black rhinos between 1997 and 2001 involved 10 animals from South Africa, two of which were reintroduced to Ngorongoro Crater and eight to Mkomazi National Park. In 2007, two black rhinos from Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, UK, were introduced into a sanctuary adjacent to Ikorongo-Grumeti Game Reserves. In June 2009, three black rhinos from the Czech Republic were translocated to Mkomazi National Park. Another translocation operation is expected to begin in May 2010 whereby 32 black rhinos will be translocated into the Serengeti ecosystem from Thaba Tholo, Thabazimbi, South Africa. Although the first five translocation operations went well, the challenge is the management of the reintroduced rhinos amid the growing social-ecological pressures affecting protected areas. Management authorities should consider the recommended sex ratio for rhino populations to avoid excessive male aggression. Keywords: Black rhinos, conservation, poaching, translocation Résumé La Tanzanie avait beaucoup de rhinocéros noirs (Diceros bicornis) dans les années 1960 mais elle a été touchée par un braconnage impitoyable entre les années 1970 et la fin des années 1980.
