You will have time for lunch in the afternoon and an optional afternoon or evening game drive. Tsavo West is the most visited section in Tsavo National Park, offering a number of attractions apart from its wildlife. First stop will be Mzima Springs, the most famous and here about 227.3 million litres of cold clear water pour from the earth across the rock and through porous volcanic rock at its base, presumably from Chuyulu Hills some ten kilometres in the background passing underground via river.

Here, there are wonderful views over Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face; similar views can be experienced from the poacher’s lookout. Less than 200 years old, the black coke Chaimu Crater, which is of volcanic origin, is also worth a visit and can even be climbed for those interested. This area is also worth looking out for klipspringer – a small antelope that is as surefooted as its Swahili name suggests: mbuzimawe or mountain goat. Situated on the southwest corner of Tsavo West, the Lake Jipe has the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.

Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch while herons hide in it while searching for food.

Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching with over 400 bird species have been recorded. 9 Day Kenya Wild Safari Adventure, It is also a favourite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, water ski, and fish.
