National Park - 741 sq km - Managed by Kenya Wildlife Services

Chyulu Hills National Park was opened in January 1983 to protect its unique habitat and role as a vital catchment area. The Chyulus are a volcanic mountain range with a mix of volcanic cones, the most interesting of which is Shetani, meaning “Devil” in Swahili, and barren lava flows. Game includes: buffalo, zebra, giraffe, oryx, lion, leopard and many species of bird and plant.
