Spanning some 9,000 square kilometres, Tsavo West is a mosaic of habitats including savannahs, volcanic features, riverine forests and acacia woodlands. The presence of iconic spots like the Mzima Springs, where water bubbles up from underground streams, further enhances the park’s ecological diversity.
Despite being inland, the park is affected by coastal weather patterns and is home to a rich diversity of species. The park itself is home to elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos, as well as various smaller mammals and reptiles.
