Tsavo National Park – Kenya is the largest national park in Kenya (nearly 22,000km2) and one of the largest in Africa. Due to its size the park was split into two - Tsavo West and Tsavo East - for easier travel and administration. Tsavo National Park is the ideal safari destination for people who seek solitude and privacy as well as the chance to explore the wilderness. With its proximity to Mombasa (less than 100 km away) it is also a great safaris packages option for those staying on the Mombassa coast or those planning to relax on Kenya's beaches after a dusty safari in Kenya.
Tsavo National Park also combines well with the nearby Amboseli National Park Kenya. Tsavo in Kenya consisting of the two main parks Tsavo West National Park and Tsavo East National Park, plus Taita Hills Game Sanctuary, Chyulu Hills National Park, South Kitui National Reserve and Ngai Ndethya National Reserve. Tanzanian Mkomazi National Park borders southern Tsavo West. Inland from Tsavo West is Amboseli National Reserve, and south of Amboseli, on the Tanzanian side of the border, is Mount Kilimanjaro, surrounded by Kilimanjaro National Park.
Tsavo West National Park
Tsavo West National Park is covered in volcanic cones, rocky outcrops and lava flows. The northern part of Tsavo West National Park is the most developed in terms of lodge, Safari tented camps, luxury hotels and has spectacular scenery with a rolling volcanic landscape carpeted in long grass and dense bush. Tall vegetation makes game spotting here a little trickier than in some of the other parks. The Big Five can be found in the park along with a fine range of antelope species. The main tour attractions of the Tsavo West National Park are the two waterholes, built by the lodges to more or less guarantee that their guests will be treated to fabulous game viewing. Places to visit include the Chaimu Crater and the Roaring Rocks viewpoint. These are located just southeast of Kilaguni Safari Lodge; they can be climbed in roughly 15 minutes and offer sensational views over the plains.
Tsavo East National Park
Across the highway from Tsavo West is Tsavo East National Park. Famous for itslarge numbers of elephant and spectacular herds of up to 1000 buffalos, Tsavo East National Park has more open savannah than its western sibling. The scrub-covered hills of the southern park have a very remote feel and the park, despite its great game, does not attract large numbers of tourists. The best game viewing is along the watercourses and at the Kanderi swamp, which is not far from the main Voi gate.
Thirty kilometres from the gate is the Aruba Dam and lion are commonly spotted around here. For a number of years only the southern third of the park was open to the public because of the danger posed by poachers, and visitors were likely to encounter carcasses of tuskless elephants. In the past the park was hard hit by poachers who slaughtered horrifying numbers of rhino, elephant and other species. Long at the epicentre of a poaching war which decimated rhino numbers from approximately 8000 in 1970 to less than 50 two decades later, elephant numbers plummeted from 50,000 in the 1960s to 5,000 twenty years later. Today, however, the corner has well and truly been turned and you can be treated to the sight of large herds of 50 or more elephants, which have instinctively retreated to the vicinity of the lodges where they are assured of protection.
