Parque Nacional Tsavo West

Parque Nacional Tsavo West

  • Lava, Springs, and Giants

    A rugged wilderness that offers some of the most diverse landscapes in Kenya. Spanning 9,065 square kilometers, the park is a tapestry of ancient volcanic cones, jagged black lava flows, and lush oases fed by underground springs. It is more mountainous and greener than its eastern counterpart, providing a dramatic backdrop for safari enthusiasts and photographers alike.

  • What to expect

    1. A Geological Marvel: Explore the «Shetani Lava Flows,» a massive expanse of folded black lava that remains as a reminder of the region’s fiery volcanic past.

    2. The Oasis of Mzima: Discover a crystal-clear paradise where millions of gallons of water gush from beneath the lava rocks, creating a sanctuary for hippos and crocodiles.

    3. Rhino Sanctuary: Tsavo West is home to the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, a critical stronghold for the endangered Black Rhino, nestled at the base of the Ngulia Hills.

  • Seasonal Overview

    Perfect for birdwatching and enjoying the park’s dramatic, verdant scenery when Mount Kilimanjaro is often most visible on the horizon.
