TSAVO EAST AND TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARKS

Tsavo lies mid-way between Nairobi and Mombasa. Tsavo National Park, measuring approximately 22,000sq kms, is believed to be the largest game sanctuary in the world. For administrative purposes, the game park has been split into Tsavo East National Park contains the Yatta plateau, one of the world’s largest lava flows, and the lugard Falls, a favorable haunt for the sunbathing Nile Crocodiles. Outstanding features in Tsavo West National Park include the 8km long Shetani (devil) lava flow and the fabulous Mzima springs, an oasis that has no comparison. Here, a subterranean river of crystal-clear water from Kilimanjaro melting snow gushes out of the ground. The water is so clear and cool that you watch teeming tropical fish, hippo and the crocodile eyeball to eyeball while sitting in the safety of an underwater glass window observatory. There is also Chyulu Hills beneath which lies one of the biggest cave system in the world.

The fascinating physical landscape and its proximity to Kenya’s coast makes Tsavo a popular safari destination. On account of it’s size this National Park does not have the traffic experienced in other game sanctuaries. Tsavo accommodates a huge population of “red Elephant”-red coming from the rich red earth of the park. Also of great attraction are the maneless Tsavo lions, descendants from the infamous “Man Eaters of Tsavo”-lions that wrecked havoc in the work campus of coolies building the Kenya-Uganda railway at the beginning of the 20th century. Other animals to be found in Tsavo include Buffalos, Rhinos, Leopards, Hippos, Zebras, Giraffes, Primates and Antelopes.
