Tsavo West & East
Famous for the “Man-Eating” Lions of Tsavo
Captivating Landscapes
Tsavo is made up of 2 national parks: Tsavo West & Tsavo East. This is the largest national park in the country having been split into two due to the railway that goes from Mombasa to Kenya’s interior.
Tsavo is legendary for the “man-eating lions”. It is also famous for its large herds of elephants and captivating landscapes. Being one of the least populated parks in Kenya makes it the perfect destination for a relaxing and memorable wildlife experience.
