A vast, eerie river of black rock—Shetani Lava Flow in Tsavo West National Park is a 50-square-kilometer field of jagged volcanic rock formed just 500 years ago. Locals named it “Shetani” (Swahili for “devil”), believing the fiery eruption was the devil himself bursting from the earth. Today, it’s a surreal landscape of twisted lava tunnels and scorched terrain—a raw, untamed reminder of Kenya’s volcanic past.
