Drive from Nairobi to Tsavo West National Park

You travel southeast from Nairobi toward Tsavo West National Park in 5-6 hours, depending on your route and entry gate. The road passes through Nairobi’s outskirts before opening into wide savannahs and rural countryside, with scattered villages and distant highlands along the way. As you get closer to Tsavo West, the landscape shifts into more rugged terrain shaped by volcanic activity, including lava flows and rocky hills, with rich wildlife habitats inside the park.
