Ziwani Wildlife Sanctuary

Ziwani Wildlife Sanctuary lies in southern Kenya, between Tsavo West National Park and the Tanzanian border, where open savannah meets riverine woodland. Its atmosphere is calm and intimate, offering a slower, more personal safari experience than larger parks. Visitors explore the sanctuary on guided walks, night drives, and gentle boat trips on the Sante River and Ziwani Dam, encountering hippos, crocodiles, giraffes and abundant birdlife at close range. Acacia shade, rustling reeds and the low grunts of hippos after dusk shape the sensory landscape. For travellers seeking meaningful wildlife encounters, peaceful surroundings and a strong sense of place, Ziwani delivers a quietly memorable safari experience.
