Red bushy Tsavo
If you have some luck on your side Tsavo can be a great place. It's sheer size means there is enough wildlife in the park, but you may have to be patient and spend more time here. Unlike animals, birds are a lot easier to spot and if you are into birding you will certainly not be disappointed.

park is the "Shetani" lava flow. It was surreal to see the landscape suddenly change to dark black. In fact you can see the border between the red soil and the black soil from past volcanic eruptions clearly in certain spots.

We had a great night drive experience with seeing lions take down their prey and eat it alive until it finally died, but in general there wasn't a huge amount of wildlife to see at this place. They need to add more roads closer to water areas to see more animals. It's very dry and hot so the animals are probably at the water areas that vehicles do not have access to. I think we were lucky to have seen the lion experience. Without that it would have been pretty slim to see a lot of wildlife. It's a long drive especially if you don't get to have an amazing experience. The tent camp did have a lot of hippos in their water. I give this 4 stars only because of the night drive Lion experience. If that did't happen it would be a 1 or 2 stars max.

A once in a lifetime experience
Our trip to Kenya and vistit to Tsavo West National Park was our first (and so far only) safari. It was one of our most enjoyable and memorable vacations so far. Although we did not spot any cats, we basically saw every other animal: giraffes, elephants, zebras, hippos, owls, etc.
We slept in a (fully equipped) tent , which made the experience complete. In the night you could literally hear the animals passing by. Amazing.
After a couple of days we stayed in a resort at the beach. That was nice as well, but we all hoped the safari would have last a little longer. The days just seemed to flew by!
