TSAVO WEST is the more visited area of Tsavo with numerous hills and rivers volcanic lava flows and also tall grass and woodland. The developed area lies between the Tsavo River and the Mombasa road. Here the landscape is varied and often very beautiful and from certain sites Mt. Kilimanjaro may appear on the horizon. Tsavo is well known for Elephant and the red soil of this terrain has created the myth of the Red Elephant.

Game is not always so easy to see as the animals are scattered over a very large area and long lazy game drives enable one to appreciate the grand scale of African scenery.

The Mzima Springs are filtered to crystal clear purity by the lava of the nearby Chyulu Mountain Range and 250 million litres of pure water gush out at two pools. The area has become a tourist attraction with the construction of underwater observation tanks where you can enjoy unique views of Hippo underwater.

Within Tsavo West Standard and Quality accommodation is available. Finch Hatton's offers exceptional and isolated luxury. Set around a Hippo Pool each beautifully appointed tent has a guard to keep you safe from the wildlife. In the dining room quiet classical piano accompanies gourmet meals. Perfect for relaxation.
