Chyulu Hills: Explore The Green Hills Of Africa

A Landscape Forged by Fire and Life:

The Chyulu Hills are a testament to nature's artistry. They are a relatively young volcanic range, characterized by vast expanses of rolling green grasslands, dotted with picturesque volcanic cones, and sculpted by ancient lava flows. What makes these hills truly special is their vital role as a water catchment area. Rainwater seeps through the porous volcanic rock, forming subterranean rivers that eventually emerge as crystal-clear springs, notably the famous Mzima Springs in Tsavo West National Park. This natural filtration system sustains life, painting the hills in vibrant shades of green even during drier periods.

A Thriving Wildlife Haven:

Despite their seemingly arid appearance from a distance, the Chyulu Hills are a vibrant biodiversity hotspot. The abundant underground water sources support a rich tapestry of flora and fauna, making it an essential wildlife corridor connecting Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks. On your adventure with Wild Springs, you can expect to encounter:

• Majestic Elephants: Large herds often traverse the hills, seeking vital water sources.

• Grazing Herds: Spot zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, elands, and various antelope species.
