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.

Famed for its sheer size, diverse landscapes, and incredible wildlife encounters, Tsavo National Park is divided into two distinct sections – Tsavo East and Tsavo West. These two siblings may share a name, but they each have unique personalities and stories. Join us as we share the captivating differences between the two.

1. The Fearsome Lions of Kenya's Past (Man Eaters of Tsavo)

Tsavo National Park presents a plethora of surprises! But first, prepare to be whisked away into a world of adventure where reality and the silver screen collide!

Remember the thrilling movie "The Ghost and the Darkness," starring Val Kilmer? Well, Tsavo National Park is the actual stage where this riveting story unfolded. Yes, you read that right – the Tsavo Man-Eaters, a pair of fearsome male lions in Kenya's Tsavo region, brought intrigue and terror as they were responsible for many construction workers' demise on the Kenya-Uganda Railway in the late 1800s. And get this – the very railway that once saw this gripping saga is what now divides Tsavo National Park into its east and west counterparts. Talk about a jaw-dropping twist! But, we must note that many lions still call Tsavo home, all of which enjoy a healthy diet of plains game only! No man-eating lions here, folks!
