Chyulu Hills National Park - Kenya Safari
Chyulu Hills National Park, which abuts Tsavo
West to the north-west. The Chyulu Hills are one of the world's newest mountain ranges; the most recent volcanic peak was formed only 500 years ago. A four-wheel drive track leads to this peak - Shaitani- from the Chyulu gate near Kilaguni Lodge and it is simple to walk to the caves on the side of the volcano. It is a breathtaking landscape of rampant ferocity and the vistas to Kilimanjaro are unbeatable. At the other end of Tsavo West, in the south-west corner, lies Lake Jipe. Bisected by the border with Tanzania; it is a favorite haunt of bird watchers and boats are available for ardent ornithologists. In the lake area is a small herd of Grevy's zebra, translocated from northern Kenya in 1977. Animals commonly seen are buffalo, bushbuck, eland, elephant, leopard, warthog, forest bush, reedbuck, Steinbok and many more..
