Situated amid a diversity of habitats,
from dry savannah to green river
woodlands and lush mountain
forests, the landscape of Tsavo
West offers a huge range of wildlife
viewing. The higher elevation and
lower temperatures of the hills bring
magnificent flocks of resident and
migratory birds. One of Africa’s largest
herds of free-roaming elephants
regularly visits the lodge’s watering
hole. The dusty plains are prime
territory for spotting giraffes, lions
and even elusive leopards.150 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELLERCONCIERGE
