        Tsavo National Park was established on 1st April, 1948 with an area of 21,812 Km2 It is the largest Park in Kenya. In May 1948 Tsavo National Park was divided into East and West for administrative purposes. The two Parks are divided by Nairobi-Mombasa railway /road.

        The Waliangulu and Kamba tribes used it as a hunting ground prior to gazettement.
        Dr. Krapf journeyed on foot through this area in 1848 crossing the Tsavo river on his way to Kitui - first European to see Mt. Kenya.
        Construction of the railway reached Tsavo river in 1898. During the construction of the bridge two lions terrorized the workers, killing over 130 people before being killed by Col. Patterson. Patterson recounted the story in his book The Maneaters of Tsavo which became the major motion picture The Ghost and the Darkness (1997).
        During the World War I (1914-1918) British forces built fortresses along Tsavo river to counter threats from invading German forces from Tanganyika (present Tanzania) - whose intention was to blow up the Tsavo river bridge that was vital to British Communication.

      • Lodging

        One of the most scenic lodges in Tsavo is the Voi Lodge.

        Perched on the top of a cliff-faced hill, Voi Safari Lodge is uniquely designed to be a hinge like structure overlooking Kenya's Tsavo East plains extending as far as the undulating terrain of the Yatta Plateaus. This vantage positioning of the lodge has made it a stop over for many safari adventures, nature lovers and holiday makers who are assured of sampling Kenya's wildlife attractions that continuously beat a track to the three water holes sunk by the lodge below the cliff.

        During the dry season the waterholes are the convergence of a lot of wild animals moving almost in a trance as if urged on by some kind of telepathic communication, the sight is just fantastic. The location evokes a romantic inspiration that once moved a visiting British poet who now incorporated his experience at the lodge in most of his poems, to describe it as sample of wonder that is better than a dream.
