Tsavo national park is Kenya’s largest park and has been split in two, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. The park is very popular with those wishing to combine beach and bush and other attractions nearby include Amboseli National Park and Mt Kilimanjaro. Of the two, Tsavo East has more open savannah but Tsavo West is the more beautiful. Thanks to the legend of its man eating lions Tsavo was famous long before it became a Park. Over 500 bird species have been recorded in the area.
