This was taken in Mkomazi National Park in northern Tanzania. This park was officially listed as National Park in 2006 and was a game reserve before that. It is situated on the border to Kenya and is directly connected to Tsavo West National Park. Mkomazi is a word from the local dialect and means "a spoon of water" (Mko = spoon, mazi = water). The park has a population of African wild dogs and breeding black Rhinoceros (in a patrolled sanctuary), which makes it internationally recognized.
When I went there in 2013 with a group of friends, we were the only people there for an entire week-end. Considering how many tourists one usually finds in the other National Parks of northern Tanzania, it was a truly amazing experience.
The populations of animals there are not as abundant as in other parks and they are not as used to cars, which makes them comparatively shy, but it makes the experience more special and enjoyable. I can fully recommend going there, you will not regret it.
