Beneath the wrap of the gazebo a ear splitting splash followed by loud grunts awoke me beckoning me to believe it was daybreak! The hippos in a hurry to make it to the pond must have run at bursting rate to enter the water before sunrise above the indigo skies.

Still dazed and not feeling like climbing out of the warm bed, I gaze outside the gazebo, it was still dim and the hippos were grunting so close by. I unzipped the tent and in the flashlight, round eyes spaced apart stared back at me out of the dark.

This is only 4am and the hippo pod was alive. What-ever happened to the belief that hippos graze out all night - this is certainly a Tsavo safari.

The pool gleamed beneath the reflection of a clear star spotted heaven. Now, fully awake, I examine the pond for other life and several meters from the grunting hippos, relaxing in the edge of the pond are two crocodiles. I can not get back to bed now with plenty going on beneath my porch.

It is apparent today to discover how Finch Hatton, the famous fan of Karen Blixen and writer of 'Out of Africa' was so captivated with Tsavo that his quote '"Tell them I'll be in Tsavo", has transformed the lovely luxurious tented camp in the middle of Tsavo West national park to a hallmark of acclaim around East African safaris circuits.

Crafted around innate pools filled with waters coming from the Chyulu Hills plus the awesome Kilimanjaro, it's heartening to trek the camp grounds. You just can not ignore this walk!

Following a healthy breakfast, a guide follows us for the stroll highlighting the bird's species and the crocodiles. Watching the hippos open their gigantic mouths exposing pink yellowish teeth you would not want to get close by. Hippos are efficacious killers whenever it's an option between their territory and the trespasser.

A Greyish crowned heron on a hippo's spine gives a sigh of ease as the hippo plods about the shallow pool. Tiny footed African jacanas land on the suspended leaves of the water lilies and a great white egret stands by the shores watching us.

Upon the patio of a tent, 2 colourful kingfishers dive inside the pools as the decorated Malachite and grey headed kingfishers on the bushes look on as 2 teenage crocodiles bask in the sun adjacent the tent.

"This is actually a complete ecosystem" observes the guide. "There are zero fences thus the wildlife have the right of way." "During drought, elephants, giraffes, water bucks roam here when water is rare elsewhere".

It's unbelievable that the walk covering the grounds has lasted through morning meal to lunchtime. A dotted monitor lizard scampers in front of our direction as it disappears in to the thick shrub. Soon we arrive at the crocodile nursery at the pool where the spring water gushes.

A minor crocodile lies about the hard stone oblivious of our presence. The clear pool of bubbling water is rather vibrant with the little charges. We admire how this little one will later become a colossal sized crocodile. What a morning!

The combined mass of Savoy East and West makes up the biggest national park in Kenya while offering an extensive and untapped world of arid bush for African travel. The parks are patrolled by some of the biggest elephant herds in Kenya while hosting many species including Lions, leopards, rhinos, Buffalo's, gazelles, besides other carnivores with over 150 fowl species.

The Mzima springs, Shaitani Lava Stream which consisting of caves, 3 craters, basalt streams and lava sprinkles complete the grandeur.
