Tsavo West has a volcanic landscape and a much denser vegetation than its neighbouring parks, making it more difficult to spot some animals. Nevertheless, the varied landscape and the wonderful Mzima Springs make it definitely worth a visit. The pools formed by Mzima Springs are an ideal home for hippo's, crocodile and water birds.

​

The dense vegetation also makes it a perfect location for birdwatching, especially during the months from October to January, when many migratory birds are present. Tsavo West has over 500 bird species recorded.
