Best Travel Guide To Tsavo National Park Wildlife in Kenya

Best Travel Guide To Tsavo National Park  Wildlife in Kenya 

Kenya's largest Park, Tsavo, is sliced in two: Tsavo West and Tsavo East. Together these Parks comprise four percent of the country's total area and encompass rivers, waterfalls, savannah, volcanic hills, a massive lava-rock plateau, and an impressive diversity of wildlife.

Tsavo provides the perfect safari destination if you're looking for a unique, authentic experience far from the overcrowded, more popular parks like the Masai Mara and Amboseli which is close. And because Tsavo is less than 100 km from Kenya's coast, it makes a great combo for that special bush and beach getaway. Midway between Nairobi and Mombasa, Tsavo East is famous for photo-worthy sightings of large elephant herds rolling and bathing in red dust. The palm-fringed Galana River twists through the park, providing excellent game viewing and a lush counterpoint to the arid plains.

Other highlights here include the Yatta Plateau, the world's longest lava flow; Mudanda Rock; and the Lugard Falls, which spill into rapids and crocodile-filled pools.

Tsavo West is wetter and topographically more varied, with some of the most beautiful scenery in the northern reaches of the Park. Highlights here include Mzima Springs, a series of natural springs with large populations of hippos and crocodiles; Chaimu Crater, a great spot for seeing birds of prey; and Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.

Tsavo National Park is one of the oldest and largest parks in Kenya named after the Tsavo River, which flows west to east through the national park.

Tsavo National Park  Wildlife:

Considered one of the world's biodiversity strongholds, it boosts vast amounts of diverse wildlife that can be viewed, including the famous 'big five' consisting of a lion, black rhino, cape buffalo, elephant, and leopard.

This Park was home to the famous 2 notorious "man-eating lions"  that terrorized the railway construction workers and were eventually shot by Lt. Col Patterson not before they had killed 135 Indians and local workers.

Tsavo National Park  Birding:

The Park is also home to a great variety of over 500 bird life such as the black kite, crowned crane, lovebird, and the sacred ibis, home to the black rhino sanctuary as well. Other attractions include the Yatta Plateau and Lugard Falls, Mudanda Rock, Mzima Springs, Chaimu Crater, and Aruba Dam.

Best Time to visit Tsavo National Park :

Tsavo West National Park is best visited in the dry months from June to October and January to February. Although the park can be visited at any time of year, wildlife viewing during the peaks of the Wet season (April and November) is not recommended.

With all these attractions, one is best assured of a lifetime experience.
