Mzima Springs is one of the most captivating natural attractions within Tsavo West National Park in Kenya. Known for its crystal-clear waters and abundant wildlife, Mzima Springs offers a unique opportunity for visitors to experience the natural beauty and biodiversity of Tsavo West national park. The springs are a series of four natural springs that provide a reliable water source in an otherwise arid region, making them a vital ecological haven.
Mzima Springs are formed by underground rivers originating from the Chyulu Hills, located approximately 50 kilometers away. The water percolates through porous volcanic rocks, emerging at Mzima Springs as fresh, clear, and cool. The springs produce an impressive 250 million liters of water per day, feeding into a series of pools and streams that sustain a diverse range of flora and fauna.
