Tour Highlights:
- Beautiful Scenery: The park is marked by a number of rocky outcrops and volcanic hills. The landscape is dominated by giant baobabs reputed to live a thousand years.

On a clear day, the park offers lovely views of the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro .
- Shetani Lava Flow: When entering Tsavo West through Chyulu gate, one of the first things you see in the park is Shetani lava flow. Shetani means ‘devil’ in Kiswahili. When the locals first saw ‘fire’ erupting and ‘flowing’ on the ground some 500 years ago, they believed that it was the devil himself emerging from the earth. The Shetani black lava flow is 8 km long, 1.6 km wide and 5 meters deep. The sight is quite special and spectacular .
