AUTHENTIC SAFARIS & PERSONALIZED TOURS IN TSAVO WEST WITH AFRICANMECCA

The varied ecosystems of Tsavo West National Park offer an almost infinite number of exciting and interesting Kenya dream safari experiences and tour activities for our guests. The distinct attractions are centered upon exploring the volcanic history, conservation efforts and natural landmarks that lend to the park’s beauty and global value.

You discover the many treasures during game drives, guided nature and birding walks and hiking. Game drives are typically offered in the morning and afternoon where you can encounter varied herbivores like elephants, zebras, buffalos, giraffes, impalas, oryx, warthogs to stalking carnivores – lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, wild dogs and many more.



You travel in a comfortable four-wheel-drive safari vehicle that is specially designed for wildlife viewing, safety and photography. Your native guide shares insider perspective of the park and the culture of the local tribes of Kenya.

As your guide expertly navigates the terrain, he details out personal stories, local folklore and ancient traditions. You are also enlightened with information about the flora and fauna of the park. You are amazed by the skills that are used by your guide to track and locate the animals, and the intimate knowledge of wildlife behaviors, many of which go unnoticed by the untrained eye.

The spectacular details of Tsavo should not be missed! AfricanMecca lodgers can partake guided nature walks to uncover the many smaller aspects of the park, such as the intricate detail of leaves and flowers and its medicinal values, as well as the busy activity of insects, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians.



For your birdwatching trip to Kenya, these walks are an exceptional opportunity to expand your avi-fauna identification skills and expand your personal birding journal. The mega 600 recorded species include golden pipits, ostriches, golden-breasted starlings, hartlaub's bustard, white-headed buffalo weavers, lilac-breasted rollers, raucous hornbills and many, many more.

Sites that AfricanMecca recommends for your hiking vacation in Tsavo West Park are around Mzima Springs, Shetani caves and lava flow, Ngulia Hills, Roaring Rocks and Chaimu Caves, to name only some of the breathtaking locations in the park (read more on when is the best time to go). The green waters of Mzima Springs are a surprise to any guest, and you can even watch the swimming hippos from a glass observation chamber that safely takes you into the underwater world.



Shetani caves and lava flows are some of the best examples of geological and solidified yesteryear lava runs. Although some of the caves can be explored, we caution our guests about doing so, as the cave conditions can be treacherous as there are used as dens sometimes. For guests who want to feel like they are on top of the world, the views from Ngulia Hills, Chaimu Crater and Roaring Rocks are some of the most stunning in Kenya. The extreme sport adventurers can rock climb at Kichwa Tembo.

Rhino protection is an important part of many protected areas in Kenya because these beautiful animals are increasing under the pressure of habitat loss and poaching. Support the efforts of rhino conservation by learning about the challenges of protecting the species at Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, where you may also see other threatened terrestrial species, both large and small.
