TSAVO NATIONAL PARK ON A KENYA SAFARI

Sitting astride the main Nairobi-Mombasa road, the combined area of Tsavo West and East is larger than Wales or Jamaica. With its large herds of elephants and buffaloes and diversity of animal, bird and plant life, Tsavo is an ideal stopover en route to Mombasa.

With the park's great diversity of plants and animals coupled with its well maintained all weather roads, it has become a model national park.

Mzima Springs, where crystal clear water gushes daily from underground streams of Mt. Kilimanjaro, acts as an attraction to many animals and especially elephants that love spending their time here soaking half immersed in the water. Other water loving animals like hippo and crocodile are not an uncommon sight. Giraffe, gazelles and zebra can be seen wondering around the banks through the raffia palms and thick acacia together with hundreds of chattering monkeys and birds.

Besides the gigantic elephants, other animals such as lions, some undoubtedly direct descendants of the man-eaters of Tsavo, can be seen roaming around in this national park. Among the not so common animals to be found here are fringed-eared oryx, the gerenuk and the lesser kudu. The carnivores found here include serval, hyena, leopard, cheetah and caracal. The landscape is filled with giant baobab tree and which are reputed to live a thousand years.

Larger mammals include cheetah, elephant, black rhino, hippo, giraffe, lesser kudu, oryx, Cape buffalo, zebra, yellow baboon, waterbuck, Coke's hartebeest, gerenuk, and gazelle. Crocodiles can be found in pools while various fish live in the Park's rivers and springs.
