Tsavo N.P. Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Watering hole at Voi Lodge Watering hole at Voi Lodge Charan Tsavo is the largest of Kenya's national parks, covering over 20.000 square km. It is split into two sections for administrative purposes, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Because the park is so big, you can spend a lot of time driving around in the bush without seeing much wildlife. There are some beautiful, uncongested attractions within the parks, however, ad there's enough to see the keep you busy for several days. If you're planning to safari in Tsavo on you own (without a Safari Company), you will need a 4WD vehicle if you plan to get off the main roads. The main entrance gates to Tsavo West and East are sign posted on the Mombasa highway. Be advised that Tsavo West and East are seperate parks and you'll need to pay separate entrance fees. ____________Tsavo West Edit This Most of the sights in Tsavo West center around the watering holes near the Kilaguni and Ngulia lodges. Mzima springs, next to Kilaguni Lodge has plenty of hippos and crocodiles, and even an underwater viewing chamber, where you can check out the aquatic life in the springs. North of the lodges is Shetani lava flow and caves. There's also the Chaimu Crater just south of Kilaguni Lodge, which you can climb. Lastly, not far from Ngulia Lodge lies the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, where you have a chance to see one of up to 30 black rhinos inside a 70 aq km fence. If you're traveling on a budget, Tsavo West has several normal camp sites near its 3 main gates. It also has some cheap accommodations near the lodges. You can get a fully equipped banda for Ksh 500 per person (minimum Ksh 2000 per banda) at the Ngulia Safari Camp or the Kitani Safari Camp. The bandas have a bathroom, kitchen with supplies, and lanterns. Bring your own personal supplies, food, and drinking water. There are also several lodges to choose from . The Ngulia Lodge (# (02) 336858) offers singles/doubles with full board for US$ 120/150 in the high season and US$ 60/120 in the low season. There's a watering hole outside the lodge which attracts wildlife every night. The Kilaguni Lodge is owned by the same company, and prices are exactly the same. It too has a watering hole. Other lodges include the Lake Jibe Lodge by itself in the southern tip of the park, and the Tsavo Inn, just outside of the Mtito Andei Gate. Update: the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary is open only for a limited period daily, all visitors have to be out by 16.30hrs. The rangers carry out a census every full moon, where they stay out overnight to count the Rhinos when they visit the waterholes. They were part way through the count during my visit in June 2004, and we were told that they had counted 58 on the last census. So they are obviously doing a great job for conservation, by the way on 2 visits now I have failed to see one whilst in the Sanctuary. Though was fortunate enough to spot one from the viewing point at Ngulia Lodge in 1999. A site that almost made up for the dissapointment was a pair of Cape Hunting Dogs, one of the rarest species left in Africa. http://www.szgdocent.org/aa/a-wildog.htm ____________Tsavo East Edit This The vast northern two-thirds of Tsavo East is closed to the public. The Kenyan Government is actively trying to eliminate poaching in the region. There's still much to see south of the Galana River, however, such as the Kanderi Swamp and the Aruba Dam. There are campsites near most gates to Tsavo East, as well as one right by the Kanderi Swamp. The Voi Safari Lodge (# (02) 336858), just east of Voi has singles/doubles with full board for US$ 150/200 in the high season and US$ 60/120 in the low season. The very beautiful Tsavo Safari Camp (# (02) 338888) is located further north on the banks of the Athi River. Singles/Doubles with full board cost US$ 50/100 in the low season and US$ 152/190 in the high season. _________Voi and Taita Hills Edit This The town of Voi on the Mombasa highway is the base for exploring Tsavo. It's the major transportation hub between Mombasa and Nairobi, and you'll be able to get a bus to either city from here. You can try also to get a lift with a truck, just walk out of Voi onto the highway. If you stay in Voi, try the Voi Restpoint Hotel (# (0147) 2079). In between Tsavo West and East lies the beautiful Taita Hills. The flora is some of the most scenic in Kenya, and wildlife is plentiful, especially birds and monkeys. There are two lodges in the Taita Hills: The Taita Hills Lodge and the Salt Lick Lodge. Both are on A23 west of Voi. If you're a backpacker looking to do some trekking in Taita Hills, email my friend Scott Sweet at mwakio1@yahoo.com. Tell him you read by page and you would like some information on trekking in the area. He will tell you the best places to hike and how to access them.
