Tsavo West National Park is in the Southern Rift Valley of Kenya. Tsavo West hosts fewer visitors than its slightly larger brother, Tsavo East National Park, because its hilly landscape and thicker vegetation makes animals harder to see. Don't count Tsavo West out, however – it is considered the better looking of the two.
Most visitors enter Tsavo West by private vehicle, rental vehicle with driver or an organized safari from Nairobi, Mombasa, Amboseli or the Kenyan coast.
Read in the guideTsavo West is explored by safari vehicle, either independently or with a driver-guide. There is no public transportation between its gates, lodges and attractions.
