About Chyulu Hills National Park
Chyulu Hills National Park protects a 471 sq km stretch of young volcanic mountains — some of the youngest in the world, formed less than 500 years ago — on the border of Makueni and Kajiado counties, 280 km from Mombasa Airport. The hills rise to 2,188 metres and their forests are the source of the underground spring water that feeds Mzima Springs in neighbouring Tsavo West.
The Chyulu Hills are the setting for Ernest Hemingway’s “Green Hills of Africa” and the backdrop visible from Amboseli’s luxury camps. The park’s volcanic ridges carry dense montane forest home to black and white colobus, olive baboon, and a population of leopard that descends onto the plains at night. Walking safaris with armed rangers are the primary activity — game drives are limited to a handful of established tracks due to the terrain.
The roads into Chyulu Hills are among the most demanding in the Tsavo ecosystem — a capable 4×4 with high clearance is required. CoastLine offers this transfer primarily for guests booked at Ol Donyo Lodge or Campi ya Kanzi on the Maasai conservancies adjacent to the park boundary. Transfer time from Mombasa Airport is 4.5–5 hours.
What to See & Do at Chyulu Hills National Park
Guided walking safaris on volcanic ridges, black-and-white colobus monkey in montane forest, leopard tracks and night viewing, panoramic views of Kilimanjaro on clear days, and exploration of the Leviathan Cave — one of the longest lava tubes in the world.
