Tsavo is the other area where you can spot the “big five”. Amboseli on the other hand is an execellent park for observing large herds of elephants. The tsavo is famous for the “man eaters”. This phrase came as a result of the lions, which preyed on the men building the great Uganda Railway. Tsavo West also has an important historic connection as a major battleground in World War I where British and German troops battled for supremacy. The Tsavo Park is located off the main Nairobi-Mombasa road and is easily accessible. This national park offers a wide view from mountains, river forest, lakes and wooded grassland. Other animals at the Park apart from the big five include the dik dik, mongoose, crocodiles, noctural porcupine among others.
