This drive will also take you to the Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water is collected through underground streams of Mount Kilimanjaro. This is an important biodiversity area that supports life not only in Tsavo but also in the larger coastal area, since it is the main water supply for Mombasa. Then, visit the Shetani Lava Flow and enjoy the rugged beauty of this expansive park.
