About Tsavo West National Park

Tsavo West is hillier and more diverse than its eastern twin — volcanic cones, lava flows, the crystal-clear Mzima Springs (home to hippos and crocodiles you can view underwater), and the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.

Highlights

  • Mzima Springs underwater hippo-viewing
  • Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary
  • Shetani lava flows
  • Chaimu volcanic cone

Best time to visit

June–October; January–February
