TSAVO NATIONAL PARK
Tsavo East National Park and Tsavo West National Park account for the largest of Kenya’s protected spaces - more than 20,000km² (2,000,000 hectares) of wild, remote land. Named for the Tsavo River that runs through both parks, this enormous landscape has one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in Kenya. Habitats range from the red semi-desert and grassland savannas of the East to the rainforests of the Chyulu Hills, and inselbergs and sheer cliff faces of the West. Tsavo West is busier and more developed than Tsavo East.
