Tsavo West National Park

The Tsavo West National Park, covering an area of 9,055 square kilometers, is much more varied and diverse in its landscape than the Tsavo East National Park. Here, you encounter signs of recent volcanism in the form of lava flows and craters. There are impressive mountains, some of which are covered with dense, forest-rich vegetation, offering splendid viewpoints with views of Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) when it’s not cloudy. Additionally, there’s a special rhino sanctuary where you can observe these rare giants. The area boasts two permanent water sources: Mzima Springs and the Tsavo River. Noteworthy are also the Roaring Rocks and the Poacher’s Lookout.
