Tsavo East & West National Parks

Together forming Kenya’s largest protected wilderness, Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks offer a truly raw and untamed safari experience. Spanning over 22,000 square kilometers, the Tsavo ecosystem is famous for its vast landscapes, volcanic features, and massive elephant herds, often coated in red dust from the park’s iron-rich soil.

Tsavo East is known for its open savannah, sweeping panoramas, and large concentrations of wildlife around the Galana River. Here, you’ll encounter “red elephants,” lions, buffaloes, and giraffes in a beautifully stark setting. Meanwhile, Tsavo West is more rugged and dramatic — home to ancient lava flows, the crystal-clear Mzima Springs, and Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, where black rhinos are protected.

WildMyth Adventures crafts unforgettable journeys through both parks, offering off-the-beaten-path safaris for travelers seeking solitude, scenery, and serious wildlife action. Whether you’re tracing the trails of maneless lions or watching hippos in glassy spring pools, Tsavo is as untamed as it gets.
