The both Tsavo National Parks are roughly kidney shaped and 7,930 Sq. Miles (20,812 Sq. Kms) are
bisected in the middle by the Mombasa road. For administrative convenience, the part north-east of the road
is called Tsavo East with headquarters near Voi and measures 11,747 Sq. Kms and the part southwest of the
road is Tsavo West with wardens' offices near Mtito Andei and measures 9,065 Sq. Kms. Overall, this famous
park covers a vast section of the 200 miles of thorn scrub, spiked with bulbous trunks of baobab trees, that
separate the tropical vegetation of the Coast from the great central plateau of the African continent.
It was the endless thorn scrub here that kept the peoples of the interior remote from western civilization for
so many centuries. Try walking through it as the early missionaries did and you will soon understand. It has
various names - the Nyika, which means thorn country, the Nyiri Desert and the Taru desert. Much of the
year, it's burnt dry and dusty by the sun. Then overnight the rains transform it into a paradise of convolvulus
flowers that burst out white and purple, the grass seed germinates and the bushes are suddenly green.
Explorers hated it for the very reason that makes it an attraction today - the game. 'Full of wild beasts, such as
Rhinoceros, Buffaloes and Elephants,' the German missionary Rebmann, noted in his diary on May 11, 1848.
Indeed it is full, though overgrazing has depleted the vegetation in parts and the Elephant population is now
Tsavo's lions also described as “The Man Eaters of Tsavo” due to how they obstructed the
building of the railway in the 1900s by the simple expedient of eating the linesmen.
In Tsavo west, which is rather hillier, the volcanic area where the Mzima Springs and other
waters rise attracts most species of game. The springs, 40 km (25 miles) from Mtito Andei, form
a series of clear pools. An observation tank in the top pool enables you to watch Hippo and
Crocodile from underwater. Other major viewing places are at the Kangethwa Dam, the Kilaguni
waterhole and an artificial spring right in front of the Kilaguni Lodge. Other camps and lodges
found in Tsavo West are Ngulia Lodge, Taita Hills Lodge, Kitani Lodge, Tsavo Safari Camp,
and Salt Lick Lodge.
Tsavo East is less hilly with the exception of the dramatic line of the Yatta Plateau which rises almost
parallel to the Mombasa road. Beyond this escarpment, to the east, is a seemingly endless expanse of low lying
semi-desert, spiked with thorn bushes, most of which you can only visit by special permission of the Park
Warden. All roads north of the Galana River, which cuts across Tsavo East, are closed to the public. Lugard
Falls and Crocodile Point on the river are worth a visit, though the best places to see animals are
unquestionably Aruba. The former is a great hump of rusty coloured rock overlooking a huge waterhole
making a natural amphitheatre. At the end of an exciting day, you can always relax at the Voi Safari Lodge,
the Tsavo Safari Lodge, Ashnil Aruba Lodge, Voi Wildlife Lodge and the famous Crocodile Camp.
Both National Parks are managed separately, but together they form the largest reserve in East Africa. The
Northern part of Tsavo East may not, however, be visited by tourists.
Nevertheless, the Tsavo National park, founded in 1947, is one of the most visited tourist attractions in
Kenya. In spite of its arid countryside and savannah vegetation, about 60 species of mammals and 400
different species of birds are to be found here. The Tsavo is particularly famous because of the “red
elephants” which owe their colour to the dust prevalent in this area.
As well as lions and cheetahs, there are many antelopes (Oryx, kudus, and Grant’s gazelles and giraffe
gazelles), zebras, Masai giraffe, baboons and vervet monkeys. Of the birds, the most impressive is the Masai
ostrich. Where there is water, such as Mzima springs, crocodiles and hippos can be seen.
Before the 1,235 sq miles of the Amboseli Game Reserve had their most vital 149 sq miles
designated as a National Park, the Masai shared the area with the game which they seldom kill
for meat, being preoccupied with their cattle. But there wasn't enough pasture for both and under
Aberdare National Park covers an area of approximately 765.7 Sq. Kms and is the highest game park in the
world and boasts of having two very spectacular waterfalls; Karura, dropping 894 ft in three stages. Especially
near the water there are fantastic growth of moss and giant vegetation peculiar to the East African Mountains.
Grounsel and Lobelias, small plants in Europe, reach 15 ft high here. In good weather the park road leads to
superb views of the Rift Valley as it descends on the other side of the Aberdares to the Kinangop Plateau and
Naivasha. Aberdare National Park is 17 Kms from Nyeri town which is about 2hrs drive from Nairobi.
The wildlife in the Park are mostly shy like the Bongo. There are Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino, Eland,
Waterbuck, Reedbuck, Colobus monkey, several Cats, Mountain Buzzard, Crowned Hawk Eagle, Malacite
sunbirds, Abyssinian long eared owl and Jackson's Francolin. Citings of Black Leopard have been reported in
the past. There are a few Lions and Hyenas too. Accommodation is available at Mountain Lodge, the
magnificent Mount Kenya Safari Club, the beautiful Naro Moru River Lodge, The Ark and the famous
TreeTops.
Another particularly exciting attraction at Aberdare is the Dedan Kimathi post office, a giant tree where the
Mau would leave messages for Kimathi's attention. The Queen's Caves which, due to their coolness, were
used by the Mau to preserve their meat are another must see.
Kisite Marine Park and Mpunguti Marine Reserve located on the south coast off Shimoni and south of
Wasini Island in Kwale District. The complex covers a marine area with four small islands surrounded by
coral-reef. Kisite Park covers 11 Sq Kms. while Mpunguti reserve covers 28. Kisite Island is mainly grass
covered and an important breeding ground for sea birds while Mpunguti Islands have dense coastal equatorial
forest. Surrounding waters have well-developed coral gardens and fishes.
Kisite Marine Park can be approached easily by motor boat or traditional dhow from Shimoni. 45 varieties
of coral have so far been identified with over 250 fish species recorded. One of the attractions is Dolphin
watching. At Shimoni, which literally means a "hole" in Swahili, one is able to see caves used by slave traders
to hide slaves during the slave trade era from the liberators of slave trade. Kisite Marine Park is an ideal place
for diving. Diving gear is easily available from tour agents around Shimoni. Both Kisite Marine Park and
Mpunguti Marine Reserve are located on the south coast off Shimoni and south of Wasini Island in Kwale
District. The complex covers a marine area with four small islands surrounded by coral-reef.
It is an ideal place for diving and diving gear is easily available from tour agents around Shimoni.
Hell's Gate National Park which covers an area of 68.25 Sq Kms is situated in the environs of Lake
Naivasha about 90 km from Nairobi. The park is situated 14 km after the turnoff from the old Nairobi-
Naivasha highway. The park is characterized by diverse topography and geological scenery. It is famous for its
natural geysers, eagle and vulture breeding grounds.
Scenic locations include Fisher's Tower, the Central Tower and the Njorowa gorge. Two extinct volcanoes:
Olkaria and Hobley's are located here. Natural steam vents rise from fissures in the volcanic rock. Obsidian, a
striking black glassy rock formed from cooled molten lava is a feature of this landscape.
The flora is mainly grasslands and shrub lands with the latter being dominated by LeIeshwa and several
species of acacia. Large mammals found in the park include buffalo, eland, plains zebra, Grants and
Thompson’s gazelles, reedbuck, impala, Coke's hartebeest Masai giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah and spotted
hyena. The gorge and cliffs are breeding sites for several species of raptors and swifts. 103 species of birds
have been recorded in the park. The Olkaria Geothermal Station is located inside the park.
Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is the largest stretch of coastal forest remaining in Eastern Africa. Together with
the adjoining Mida Creek the forest comprises an ecosystem of great diversity, containing many rare species
