Kenya’s National Parks
Visit the West of Kenya’s Largest Tsavo National Park
Tsavo West National Park forms one of the greatest wildlife conservancies on Earth, known for the legendary Red Elephants and the legend of Maneaters.
Tsavo West contains about half of the entire national park, including open plains, savannah bush, semi-desert scrub, acacia woodlands, and numerous rocky ridges. Mzima Springs is one of Tsavo West’s major attractions. This water body produces about 350 million litres of fresh water every year, providing most of Mombasa’s water supply.
