Tsavo West National Park
Tsavo West National Park lies in Kenya’s Coast Province in the southwest of the country. It is divided from neighboring Tsavo East National Park by the A109 Nairobi-Mombasa road and a railway line. The distance from Nairobi is approximately 168 miles by the A109.
Weather & Climate
The climate in Tsavo West National Park is mostly moderate in the dry, winter months from June to September, reaching a high of around 77F during the day, while summer days between December and early March can reach up to 90F. The short rains fall in November and December, with the longer rains prevailing in March and April.
Embarking on a safari in Tsavo West National Park can be enjoyed at any time of the year, the seasons presenting a variety of landscape features and wildlife wonders. For optimal game viewing, however, visiting in the winter months of June to August should be considered. The dry climate and short grass allow for easier animal spotting. Bird lovers will find Tsavo West National Park a bird watcher’s paradise when visiting in January and February.
Avoiding Crowds
Consider taking your Tsavo West National Park safari just before the busy winter season, in June, offering mild temperatures and great game viewing without the crowds. September and October are wonderful times to be in Tsavo East, with fewer visitors around. Peak season travel is July and August, so planning to travel outside these months will see fewer safari vehicles on the Tsavo West plains.
Sports & nature
The spectacular Mzima Springs is an impressive sight of a million gallons of crystal clear water gushing out of the parched lava rocks, forming the most welcoming and lovely scenes from Africa’s rolling jungle. Painted on a sprawling canvas of endless skies, emerald hills, liquid lava flows, palm fringed rivers, teeming wildlife and sparkling oasis set against the impressive backdrop of mile upon mile of cloud shadowed African savannah, Tsavo West National Park is the second largest protected area in Kenya and is famous for the man eater lions who to date carry a bizarre history long after they terrorized, maimed and killed construction workers of the Kenya-Uganda Railway in 1898. The railway construction was abruptly halted by the most voracious and insatiable man-eating lions.
The First World War Site-East African Campaign, and perhaps the most bizarre campaign of the world war, was fought in the “Bundu” (Bush) – the barely explored wilderness of thorny shrub and dense forest of Tsavo West. This last ‘gentleman war’ was waged under the code of honor, sometimes, or under guerrilla tactics adopted from African tribal fighters.
Lake Jipe lies astride the Kenya and Tanzania border and is teeming with aquatic life. Bird watching is also a major activity around the lake.
Nightlife
Nightlife in Tsavo West National Park focuses on tranquil, nature-based experiences rather than urban nightlife, featuring exclusive sundowners, bush dinners under the stars, and evening game drives to spot nocturnal wildlife. Key, intimate options include dining at lodges like Severin Safari Camp or watching nocturnal animal activity at watering holes.
Tsavo West Nightlife Experiences
Bush Dinners and Sundowners: Visitors can enjoy romantic, catered meals in the middle of the savannah at sunset.
Night Game Drives: Specialized, guided evening drives offer a chance to see elusive, nocturnal animals such as leopards, lions, and hyenas.
Lodge Entertainment: Lodges often feature relaxing lounges, evening campfires, and bar services that provide a cozy atmosphere after a day of exploration.
Stargazing: Due to minimal light pollution, the park provides exceptional opportunities for viewing the night sky.
Culture and history info
Dating back to the Stone Ages, Tsavo West National Park once thrived on the trade in ivory, cowry shells, animal skins, and, most likely, slaves. In 1898, construction of the Uganda Railway began, an event that led to one of Tsavo West’s most famous tales. It is recorded that 28 men of African and Indian descent were stalked and killed by two maneless male lions, who were listed in history as the ‘Maneaters of Tsavo’. In 1963, the now-called Kenya Wildlife Service took over management of the park, which remains one of Kenya’s most remarkable national parks to this day.
