Sorry, no saved Tours
Tsavo West is the smaller of the two Tsavo parks but more varied with impressive mountain scenery. Volcanic activity is evident, no more so than Shetani lava flow, a broad corridor of aerated, dark rocks dating back 200 years.
A number of viewpoints make the best of the scenery - Poachers' Lookout to Kilimanjaro, Roaring Rocks over Rhino Valley. Buffalo, lion, leopard and cheetah are all present along with frequent herds of elephant.
Mzima Springs flow from volcanic Chyulu Hills to support a population of hippos and crocodiles. The nature trail identifies different tree species with their common uses and leads onto an underwater viewing area where visiting hippo can be seen.
