Tsavo West National Park

Tsavo West National Park is a scenic park in Taita-Taveta County, covering about 9,065 km² of volcanic hills, lava flows, and savanna, established in 1948 alongside Tsavo East. It is best known for Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water gushes from underground and supports hippos, crocodiles, and fish viewed from an underwater observatory, as well as the Shetani lava flow and the rugged Chyulu Hills. The park hosts elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalo, and over 600 bird species, and is a key part of the larger Tsavo ecosystem.
