Tsavo National Park is one of kenya's oldest national parks and also the largest. It is divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West and is separated by both the railway and the highway between Nairobi and Mombasa.
The landscape of Tsavo West consists of savannah interspersed with open plains, grassland, savannah, mountains, semi-desert, steep rocks and volcanic ridges. The Ngulia Hills even reach up to 1,830 m altitude, from where you can enjoy the most enchanting views. West is best known for Mzima Springs, the Ngulia rhino reserve, the lava landscape and the ability to climb mountains. In the rainy season, the park turns into a beautiful green landscape. Due to its dense vegetation, it is difficult to spot the many wildlife, but it is the ultimate park for bird lovers; It has more than 600 bird species!
In the less visited rougher Tsavo East, vast plains are interspersed with grassland, acacia bushes, hills and marshes. Characteristic of East is the beautiful reddish brown color of the earth and roads and the many Baobab trees on the savannahs. It has the largest elephant population in Kenya and is known for its 'red' elephants. Due to the warm and dry climate, nature is mainly dry and very dusty. The various rivers that run through the park are therefore very important for both the park and for the animals that come here to drink during the dry season. In addition to the many elephants, you will also find baboons, buffaloes, cheetahs, fat-thicks, gerenuks, giraffes, Hunter's hartebeasts, impalas, small and large cowlings, crocodiles, lions, leopards, rhinos, hippos, Oryx, waterbuck, warthogs and zebras...
