Chyulu Hills National Park

The Chyulu Hills are a young volcanic range rising like a green spine between Amboseli and Tsavo West, often described as having the most beautiful views in Kenya. These emerald hills, formed just 500 years ago, are among the youngest volcanic formations on Earth and serve as a critical water catchment feeding Mzima Springs in Tsavo West. Covering 741 square kilometres, the park encompasses rolling green hills, ancient lava tubes, and open grasslands with panoramic views of Kilimanjaro. The Leviathan cave system beneath the hills is one of the world's longest lava tubes. Elephant herds migrate through the Chyulus between Amboseli and Tsavo, and the hills support lion, leopard, buffalo, and diverse birdlife.
