Tsavo West National Park covers an area of about 9,065 sq. km, and holds a wide range of habitats, wildlife and a young mountain scenery unique in Kenya.

The Park is a spectacular showcase of recent geological activities.

This vast expanse of savannah, lying equidistant between Nairobi and Mombasa and linked with Tsavo East National Park along the Mombasa Road, is a vibrant volcanic arena painted by green hills, lava flows, springs and large permanent rivers.

Tsavo West, far more varied topographically than its neighbour Tsavo East, is the more famous of the two parks, which forms, with the adjacent Chyulu Hills National Park, one of the largest national parks in the world.
