The park is 21,000 square kilometres (as large as two-thirds of Belgium), and one of the biggest places in Kenya. Tsavo is split into Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Parks by the Mombasa-Nairobi railroad and main road in Kenya. Tsavo East is by far the largest of the 2, with two-thirds of its area.

Tsavo is so vast and wild that tourism has had little impact on its environment. You can rely on seasoned Kenya guides to take you straight to where the action is, and to reveal all the mysteries of this vast reserve in Kenya.

Tsavo is famous for its 'man-eaters', a couple of Lions who terrorized workers during the building of the Mombasa-Nairobi railroad at the turn of the century. This true story has been made into a movie, 'The Ghost and the Darkness', starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer.

The best time to visit December to March and August to October, the weather is good with only slight showers and the game is plenty. Galdessa can be accessed by road aswell.
