Tsavo West National Park

Land of Lava, Springs, Man-Eaters & Magical Sunsets

Tsavo West National Park

A landscape shaped by fire and water, Tsavo West National Park is a rugged wilderness known for its dramatic scenery and rich biodiversity. From the crystal-clear Mzima Springs, where over 50 million gallons of water gush daily from beneath ancient lava flows, to the hauntingly beautiful Shetani Lava Flows, Tsavo West is a land of contrast and natural wonder.

This vast savannah ecosystem features open grasslands, Acacia woodlands, rocky ridges, and riverine forests. At Poacher’s Lookout, visitors can enjoy sweeping views of wildlife-dotted plains stretching to the horizon.

Tsavo West offers some of Kenya’s finest game viewing, with wildlife highlights including:

  • Elephants and rhinos
  • Hippos and buffalos
  • Lions, cheetahs, and leopards
  • Over 600 species of birds, including the threatened corncrake and near-threatened Basra reed warbler

Whether you’re drawn by its volcanic landscapes, its historic legends of the Man-Eaters, or its breathtaking sunsets, Tsavo West promises an unforgettable safari experience.
