Tsavo Lodges

Spectacular Wildlife, Landscapes And Lodges In Kenya's Tsavo

Tsavo in Kenya features two national parks: Tsavo East (13,747 km²) and Tsavo West (9,065 km²). Together, they form one of the world's largest wildlife sanctuaries, covering 22,000 km².

Three rivers run through Tsavo – the Tsavo River, Athi River, and Galana River – offering exceptional wildlife viewing. Located halfway between Mombasa and Nairobi, the parks are accessible via fly-in options or road safaris from either city or other Kenyan parks. However, road transfers can be long and tiring, making light aircraft transfers the best option.

The wildlife here is spectacular, with over 60 mammal species, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and rhinos, plus more than 500 bird species. Safari camps and lodges include game drives, walking safaris, and waterholes for wildlife viewing.

The Tsavo area, including the Yatta Plateau, offers a unique safari experience with breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and some of Kenya’s best safari lodges and camps. Visitors can enjoy safari drives, guided walks, and boat trips on the Tsavo River.

Most lodges in Tsavo are remote and often have access to private airstrips within an hour’s drive. Our handpicked portfolio highlights the best lodges in Tsavo East and West, showcasing the incredible experiences these parks offer. We believe Tsavo is a must-have on any Kenya safari itinerary!
