Who's behind Tsavo Kenya?

Who writes this

This guide is written by someone who overlanded much of Africa in his own Land Cruiser with a rooftop tent, and for whom the national parks were what stayed. The information about them online was usually missing, wrong or years old: fees from three tariff sheets ago, camps that had closed, roads described by people who had never driven them.

So he started writing it down properly. This guide runs on the park authority's own tariff documents, on climate normals rather than brochure weather, and on what the camps tell us directly, with a date on every claim. Where we do not know something, the page says so.

Why this site exists

An independent guide to both Tsavo parks. We do not sell trips, and nobody can pay for a softer set of facts. We read the official documents and publish what they say.

Where our numbers come from

Fees come from the Kenya Wildlife Service tariff document itself. That matters here: several tour operators quote $85 or $95 for entry, apparently as a buffer against a future rise, while the official card says $80. Every figure carries the date we last checked it.

Two things worth knowing: the railway's own website still shows fares two-thirds below the current ones, and not every train gets you to the gate in time. Where no official figure exists, we say so rather than inventing one: Kenya publishes no per-park visitor numbers, so we quote none.

Other parks we cover

We publish guides to a handful of Africa's under-visited parks, from Kidepo in Uganda to Moremi in Botswana. They share a method, not a sales funnel.
