tsavo
The National Parks of Tsavo East and Tsavo West together form one of Africa's largest wilderness reserves. Tsavo as a whole consists of 10 million acres of pure wilderness, incorporating savannah and hills and an extensive river system. The sheer scale of Tsavo gives the visitor a chance to really get away from it all, and to explore the wild in total solitude. On safari here you will see large herds of elephants, their hides often bright red with dust, as well as lions, buffaloes, elands and giraffes. Tsavo is a birdwatcher's paradise with numerous species of weavers, hornbills, sunbirds, rollers, and raptors commonly seen. Tsavo is easily accessed from the coast at Mombasa. We offer a short safari experience for those who are staying at a beach hotel.
Tsavo is home to a variety of wildlife, including large numbers of elephants, Masai Giraffes and the other members of the 'Big Five'. Lions are the most common big cats seen in Tsavo, however leopards and cheetah are found here too. Black rhino are rare, but do live in Tsavo's wilderness, as do buffalo and the occasional African wild dog. Wildebeest and Zebra are both abundant in Tsavo, and the lesser-spotted fringed-eared oryx can be found here, too.
