The expansive Yatta Plateau is a fascinating formation created from molten rock from Ol Doinyo Sabuk Mountain.

A pristine water hole at the base of this splendid geological structure bustles with wildlife slaking their thirst. Mzima Springs is a magnificent body of water teeming with animals. Here, rumpled elephants stand guard at the shoreline, slumbering hippos bob gently in the water, wily crocodiles drift past surreptitiously and zebra and giraffe tread a network of paths in the mud.  Monkeys swing and play in the broad acacias and colourful birds chatter and tweet from towering raffia palms.

Tsavo West National Park.

Tsavo west national park is found along with the Kenyan coastal prince adjacent to the Indian ocean, it covers an area of 9,065 square kilometers. The A109 highway that runs from Nairobi to Mombasa together with the railway line that also runs from Nairobi to Mombasa cuts it away from Tsavo East National Park. Tsavo West National Park is the most famous destination in the two Tsavo Parks due to its easy accessibility from the coastal province of Kenya as well as the great scenic beauty of the park, rich with the variety of wildlife and the Ngulia rhino sanctuary, rocks and others.

The Ngulia Hills

30 km from Mzima Springs, along a well-marked track, is the Ngulia escarpment, (upon which stands Ngulia Lodge). Behind it rear the jagged peaks of the Ngulia Hills, a range of sheer cliffs that rise out of the plains, 610m below, to a height of 1825 m above sea level. Not only do the Ngulia hills offer magnificent vistas over the volcanic shoals of Tsavo but also, every year between late September and November, the adjacent Ngulia Bird-ringing Station plays host to one of the greatest avian spectacles in the world. In the 1960's Tsavo had the largest population of black rhinos in Africa (between 6,000 and 9,000) and they were a common sighted within the park. By 1981, however, Tsavo's rhino had been poached to the brink of extinction and only 100 animals remained. Today most of Tsavo's surviving rhino, plus numbers of re-located animals have been moved to the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, close to the Ngulia Lodge where a meter-high electric fence surrounds an area of 70 sq km now designated an official sanctuary for approximately 40 rhinos. The Sanctuary also offers shelter to a broad range of other threatened wildlife to include cheetah and leopard and the rare frog (Afrixalus pygmaeus septentrionalis), which occurs only in the area between Mtito Andei and Voi. There are some good technical climbing routes around the Ngulia Hills, the most popular of which is Kichwa Tembo (the elephant's head). Some rewarding trekking can also be arranged. The Tsavo Park is ideally situated for visits to the massive expanses of sister park, Tsavo East whilst the verdant Taita Hills and the volcanic eruptions of the Chyulu Hills are close by. World-renowned Amboseli National Park is also within easy reach.

Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.

In 1940, there were an estimation 20,000 rhinos in Tsavo National Park, but by 1089, poaching decimated the rhinos and less than 20 individuals remained. The founding of Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary (NRS) and the Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ) resulted in an increase in the rhino population, so much so that they have reached their carrying capacity in the Ngulia Rhino sanctuary. With Rhino Recovery Sanctuary funding, Tsavo trusts main focus is on growing the rhino numbers in the western part of Tsavo National Park through boosting security and monitoring outside the sanctuary in anticipation of rhino releases. To achieve this, the Tsavo West Intensive Protection Zone needs to be at level where Kenya Wildlife Service is confident to further populate the Intensive Protection Zone with the translocated rhinos from Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, and this project will provide additional support to go there. The Ngulia Sanctuary is a home of rare Rhinos, the sanctuary was opened to protect the lives of the rare black rhinos in the park it is a stronghold a bleeding place for black rhinos in Tsavo and Kenya as a nation. The sanctuary has seen a rampant increase in rhinos from the time they were introduced. The Ngulia rhino sanctuary is one of the key attractions that are found in the Tsavo West National Park which makes your African safari experience complete and leaves you with memories. Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary is situated on the foothills of Ngulia hills covering an area of 80 square kilometers, this sanctuary is fenced with a 1 high electric fence and protected by the game rangers and the stuff, not only spotting the black rhinos in Ngulia National Reserve your able also to spot the rest of the animals within the sanctuary for example like the leopards and elephants. In the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary the rhinos are mainly nocturnal and the chances of seeing one are slim black rhinos, apart from being understandably shy and more active at night, are browsers, not grazers and prefer to pass their time in the thick undergrowth. these archaic creatures are breeding successfully and around 15 have been released elsewhere in Tsavo West National Park. For all the security, one rhino was poached from inside the sanctuary in April 2014, with two more taken on 31 December 2016 amid reports of budget cuts and diminishing resources to fight poaching. Even so, there are plans to expand the boundaries of the sanctuary to the south. In Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary the 80 rhino individuals can easily be spotted during your visit in the sanctuary though the number of the rhinos in the sanctuary are more than 80 rhinos, and the sanctuary comprises of 5b waterholes and currently supports about 70 black rhinos, Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary offers very good chances of spotting the collusive black rhinos. Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary is surrounded by the mountains; on a brighter day the silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen in the west. The ground is on most places covered with bushes, including the ones the black rhinos prefer to brows. They are many natural waterholes, but during the dry season, the rhinos get fresh water at one of four artificial waterholes, where fresh water is pumped and disturbed in pipelines. The borderline of the sanctuary consists of a fence with five wires, of which three are electrified, the purpose is not only to keep the rhinos inside, but also to keep the elephants and buffalos, competitors of the same food, outside the sanctuary. Other animals can easily pass, onto the other side of the fence, there is a road, both for patrolling by car but also provide a firebreak. There are number of stations inside the sanctuary where the rangers on duty are staying. The Ngulia headquarter is located outside the sanctuary, close to the main gate.
