waters of the Galana River, guarded by the Yatta Plateau

the world. Tsavo West, land of lions and lava, is
painted on a sprawling canvas of endless skies, emerald
hills, liquid lava flows, palm-fringed rivers, teeming
wildlife and sparkling oases, where rafts of hippo
wallow, snort and blow in the crystal clear melt waters
of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Tsavo achieved notoriety in the 1900's when ‘the
