The National Park is home to a diverse range of Kenyan wildlife, including the iconic African big 5  (lions, leopards, buffalo, rhinos and elephants). The park is situated in a remote spot of the Taru Desert and can be known as  the “Land of Lava, Springs, Man-eaters and Magical Sunsets”.

The park also boasts vast herds of dust-red elephants, fat pods of hippo, giant crocodile, teeming herds of plains game, a fantasia of bird life and vibrant flora. Look no further if you are a wildlife lover!

The day typically starts early, with a wake-up call before sunrise. After a quick breakfast, you will hop in a safari vehicle with a trained guide and head out into the park. As you drive through the savannah and acacia woodlands, your guide will point out the various wildlife and bird species that call Tsavo West home, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and buffalo.

Sunrise is an incredibly beautiful time to head out into the park, not only thanks to the soft dawn light, but also thanks to the fact that animals often become active in the early morning, and it’s not entirely unusual to hear the distant roar of a lion echoing across the plains.

During your time at the park you can enjoy night game drives, game walks with local guides and a cultural visit to local Taita tribe villages. Relax with the opportunity for sundowners, a bush bath and with complementary soft drinks, wine and beer.
