Tsavo West National Park 2 Days 1 Night Safari from Nairobi is a short wildlife and scenery safari for 1 night exploring West National Park from Nairobi Kenya. During your Tsavo west overnight safari, you will also likely see an elephant, fringe-eared Oryx, gerenuk, and hunter’s hartebeest.

Carnivores seen while on safari include lion, leopard, cheetah, caracal, and hyena. Tsavo West has more than 2,000 km of well-maintained unpaved roads that lead from one natural wonder to another.

Chief among these ranks the marvel of Mzima Springs replenished with twenty million liters of crystal-clear water a day from the underground streams of the nearby Chyulu Hills. The springs form a haven for many different animal species. Tiptoeing across the bottom, apparently weightless, we find the surprisingly light-footed but ponderous Hippo.

Crocodiles bask in the heat of the day taking an occasional swirl in the water while gazelle, giraffes, and zebra wander around the banks through thick acacia, among hundreds of chattering birds.
