Also known for its fascinating view of the always snow-covered Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest mountain in Africa), this park shares a number of borders with Tanzania and various Maasai communities.

DAY Three: Tsavo-West National Park

 

Explore one of Kenya 's largest safari destinations and one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the world!

There are also numerous geographical features in Tsavo-West, including Lugard Falls and the Mzima Springs, where an underwater observatory allows you to take advantage of a unique perspective of the area's hippos and crocodiles. Also, yet another beautiful scene awaits you upon the western horizon as Mount Kilimanjaro is still viewable across the plains.
