Roaring Rocks

A rocky highland viewpoint in western Tsavo, named for the whistling wind and the raptors circling overhead. It overlooks the plains.

Roaring Rocks is a steep rocky hill in northwest Tsavo. It gets its name from the howling sound of wind passing through the rock crevices, and from the eagles and other raptors that often circle above. Steps lead up to a viewpoint over the wide Tsavo plains and distant mountain ranges. On clear days you can even see Mount Kilimanjaro. It lies between Kilaguni and Ngulia, making it a good stop on the way to the rhino sanctuary.
