About Tsavo West

Tsavo West is the dramatic half of Kenya's greatest wilderness: recent lava flows, volcanic cones and long views to Kilimanjaro. At Mzima Springs, fifty million gallons of crystal water surge daily from the lava rock, watch hippos and crocodiles glide past the underwater viewing chamber. The Shetani lava field, Chaimu crater and the Ngulia rhino sanctuary complete a park that feels sculpted by fire, with far fewer vehicles than the northern circuits.
