Tsavo National Park

Tsavo National Park - Holidays and Tours with a Travel Agency CARTER ®

The largest national park in Kenya and one of the largest in the world is recommended as a must-see for dream holidays and trips around Africa. The magnificent landscapes and beautiful view of Kilimanjaro have inspired many a novel.

At the end of the 19th century, a railway line was built to connect Nairobi with Mombasa. It was here that the legend of man-eating lions was created, which inspired the film adaptation. The park's name comes from the Tsavo River, which flows through these areas. The climate in this region of Kenya is also conducive to expeditions, thanks to sporadic rains that occur during the rainy seasons - from April to May and the second in November. The Big Five are definitely present in Tsavo, so a safari will certainly be promising. Due to numerous programs protecting black rhinos, which were almost extinct due to poaching, have been released back into the protected area, and its population is slowly growing.

Is Tsawo National Park better than Masai Mara?

Tsavo, due to its size and relative remoteness, experiences significantly fewer visitors compared to the Masai Mara. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking solitude and an unspoiled wilderness experience. The lack of crowds also means less environmental degradation and disruption to wildlife.
