Tsavo West National Park Safari - "
The Land of Lava, Man-eaters, Springs and so
much more..."

Tsavo West National Park covers 7065 km2, approximately 30% of Kenya's protected area and contains a diversity of habitats, wildlife and fabulous mountainous scenic landscape.

The park is a vast expanse of savanna stretching all the way from Mtito Andei, along the Mombasa-Nairobi road and south to the Tanzanian border. The North Eastern boundary along the Highway adjoins Tsavo East National Park, but Tsavo West has a more varied topography and a more diverse array of habitats than its neighbour safari park.

Birds and Animals
The park's habitats include open plains alternating with Savannah bush and
semi desert scrub, charking acacia woodlands; rocky ridges and outcrops and more extensive ranges and isolated hills; belts of riverine vegetation; palm thickets and on the Chyulu hills, pristine mountain forest.

There are numerous rocky outcrops and ridges and part of the park, towards
the Chyulu Hills, is of relatively recent volcanic origin with lava flows and ash cones including the Shetani lava flow.

In the far south western corner on the Kenya Tanzania border is Lake Jipe, part of which is in the park. This very attractive lake is fed by waters runoff from Mt. Kilimanjaro and the North Pare mountains. Beautiful please to visit during your Tsavo safari holiday.

At Mzima Springs, in the North of the park, water that has filtered underground from the Chyulu Hills gushes from below a lava ridge into a
series of clear pools.
