Poacher's Lookout
A viewing point on a hill in northwest Tsavo, offering 360-degree views over the grassland, the Chyulu Hills and Kilimanjaro.
Poachers' Lookout is on top of a hill west of Kilaguni in western Tsavo. Poachers once watched game herds from here, and today it is one of the park's classic viewpoints. A simple viewing shelter stands on the summit, with wide views down to animals gathered at waterholes below. On clear days you can also see the snowy summit of Kilimanjaro. The track up the hill is steep and dirt, so after rain a four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed.
