Parco nazionale dello Tsavo, National park in eastern Kenya

Tsavo National Park is a vast protected area in eastern Kenya with savannas, plains, volcanic hills, and river systems that shape the landscape. The park features underground water networks that sustain wildlife even during dry seasons.

The park was established in 1948 as a protected reserve and was later divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West by the Nairobi-Mombasa railway and road. This division continues to shape how the park is managed today.

The park takes its name from the Tsavo River, which crosses it. The most widespread ethnic group in the Tsavo area is the Wakamba. The southern sector draws many safari visitors, and the park is entered through one of five gates.

Entry is through one of five gates, and the two halves are split by the Nairobi–Mombasa road (A109) and the Uganda Railway. Mzima Springs, reached by a short walking circuit, has two pools linked by cascades where hippos and crocodiles are watched from a submerged observation chamber. Two-thirds of Tsavo East is closed to visitors and reserved for scientific research.

The Yatta Plateau, about 190 km long, is the world's largest lava surface, formed by the volcano Ol Doinyo Sabuk. It lies in Tsavo East, where two thirds of the sector are closed to tourists and reserved for scientific research.
