Split into two parks covering the East and West, the combined area of Tsavo National Park represents one of Africa’s most vast tracts of wilderness and characterised by huge contrasts in its topography. Soaring volcanic hills, open savannah plains, rolling grasslands and shrub-land offering a vast and rugged area of exploration, but surprisingly this is not a place to come and search for the ‘Big Five’, nor savour the thrill of an active Kenyan safari. It is somewhere you can enjoy seeing wildlife in its most pure and unhurried, and in relative solitude.
Tsavo National Park Location
Sitting midway between Nairobi and Mombasa, the parks are dissected by the main road that connects both these central hubs. To the north of this road lies Tsavo East and to the south Tsavo West, and both have marked differences.
How Big is Tsavo National Park
Tsavo National Park is Kenya’s biggest national park, making up 4% of Kenya's land mass at an enormous 21,000 square kilometres.
