About Tsavo National Park
Tsavo is Kenya on the grandest scale: East and West together form one of the largest protected areas on earth, a wilderness of red soil, lava flows and endless horizons famous for its dust-red elephants and the man-eaters legend of 1898. Tsavo East delivers the classic big-sky safari along the Galana River; Tsavo West answers with volcanic drama, the Shetani lava field, Chaimu crater and the crystal springs of Mzima, where hippos glide past an underwater viewing chamber. Straddling the Nairobi-Mombasa corridor, Tsavo is the natural bridge between safari and beach.
