The best area to stay in Tsavo is within the Tsavo West National Park or the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, as these areas offer the most concentrated wildlife viewing opportunities and convenient access to key attractions.Tsavo West National Park is popular for its varied landscapes, including volcanic hills, lush springs, and the Shetani lava flows. The park is home to a wide array of animals, including elephants, lions, leopards, and rhinos. Mzima Springs, a series of four natural springs, is a particular highlight, where you can often see hippos and crocodiles from an underwater viewing chamber. This area is ideal for travellers who want to spend their days on game drives and evenings relaxing in a lodge with views of the wilderness.The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, adjacent to Tsavo West, offers a more intimate safari experience. It's a privately owned sanctuary known for its conservation efforts and high concentration of wildlife, particularly elephants. The sanctuary's layout allows for excellent game viewing, and its lodges are often built to maximise animal sightings directly from your room or communal areas.
