Tsavo West is enormous. In December, the animals are quite scattered, so it seemed like we had to do a lot of driving to see the animals.
The scenery is excellent.

It is huge area with few tourists, but also animal are quite invisible. Nice to be alone with sun and nature and enjoy peace and red landscape.

Less animals than in earlier years, but still very nice. Always a special place due to the red soil which colors the animals.

The nature was beautiful but very bushy which made the animals harder to spot.

Long drives before you could see any animals..
Maybe in August there is more to see.

Prettier scenery, better purity of air, wider variety of wildlife. Smaller areas to cover.

Refreshing & invigorating activity away from the city bustle.
I experienced one of the most beautiful & mind-blowing sunsets with the natural aura smell of nature which I usually take for granted,
This day there was something special & fulfilling about it.
You probably should give it a try
Unforgettable experience

Tsavo West - the mountainous rustic gem of the Kenyan safari parks.

exchange, the guides needed to be armed just in case a hippo or other large animal decided it did not like our presence. Luckily, incidents almost never occur, so the result is just that one can get closer to the natural environment and have a slightly elevated sense of adventure while doing it. Tsavo West also contains a black rhino preserve, though we were unable to see any rhinos while there. Not being able to see a rhino was perhaps the only major downside with our visit, though I am sure other visitors don’t have this kind of bad luck. Others potential criticisms of the park are that because it is so remote, the lodging services are a little rougher and that because of the terrain, there are no locations to get expansive photos of hundreds of animals of different species together as far as the eye can see. We personally found the lodging in the park to be pleasantly rustic, and thought the change of background scenery provided a good compliment to the other parks on the trip. Assuming you can fit it in your itinerary, a visit to Tsavo West is certainly recommended along with the other fine parks in the Kenyan park system.
