Tsavo West National Park Safari, a magnificent wildlife sanctuary.Dramatic lava flows and graced by the unique Mzima Springs, Tsavo West has good wildlife and few visitors.
Tsavo West safaris concentrate on a core part of the park, in the north, known as the Developed Area – a 1,000km² area north of the Tsavo River, with magnificent landscapes and a good network of sand and gravel park roads.
A highlight of Tsavo National Park is the spectacular Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water flows through volcanic rock.
Although Tsavo West and Tsavo East were once a single mega-park, they were separated decades ago, along a line coinciding with the Mombasa highway – and they feel like quite distinct national parks with different eco-systems: the open, flat-to-undulating plains and scattered bush of Tsavo East National Park and the much more wooded, hilly landscapes, dotted with volcanic cones and dramatic, black lava flows, that characterise Tsavo West National Park
