Severin Safari Camp - Tsavo West

Tsavo National Park with over 21,000 sq km of vast bush land is by far the largest national park in Kenya. “Full of wild beasts, such as rhinoceros, buffaloes and elephants” from a missionary’s diary written in 1848.

Later in 1900 the notorious “Man Eaters of Tsavo”, man eating lions preyed on the railway linesman building the great Uganda Railway. The carriage from which they pulled a traveller is on display in Nairobi Railway Museum. Tsavo West has important historic connections as a major battleground in World War I where British and German troops battled for supremacy.

The western part of the park today is home of Severin Safari Camp (40 km from Mtito Andei), set amongst the volcanic landscape, with the fresh waters of Mzima and Kitani springs, and rich in wildlife.

The added attractions of Tsavo National Park are the historical poachers lookout, the stunning view of the El Turesh Valley, the roaring rocks, and the Tsavo River, which make a visit to the Tsavo National Park among the things to do while in Kenya.
