Overview

Tsavo is made up of two separate parks, Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Park.

Tsavo East National Park is one of the oldest and largest parks in Kenya. Situated in a semi-arid area, previously known as Taru Desert, it opened in 1948 and is located near the town of Voi in Taita Taveta County.

Tsavo East is generally flat, with dry plains and vast herds of the dust-red elephants. It is also considered one of the world’s biodiversity strongholds due to the vast amount of wildlife and impressive land features such as the Galana River, Yatta Plateau and Lugard Falls.

Tsavo West National Park is more mountainous and wetter, with features that include swamps, Lake Jipe, Poacher’s Lookout, Mzima Springs, Shetani Lava Flow, open grasslands, scrublands, acacia woodlands, belts of riverine vegetation and rocky ridges. The park is also known for its birdlife and large mammals.

Did you know that the Tsavo area was the legendary fiefdom of the Man-Eaters of Tsavo? A pair of massive maneless male lions called The Ghost and The Darkness wreaked havoc during the construction of a railway bridge in 1898.
