Tsavo East National Park

Tsavo East National Park stands as one of Kenya’s oldest and largest parks, renowned for its rugged wilderness and unique beauty. Its expansive areas of open savannah, dotted with baobab and acacia trees, offer a more wild and undeveloped safari experience. This park is home to some of the largest herds of elephants in Kenya, colored red by the dust, making for an iconic image against the park’s vast landscapes. Tsavo East also hosts a variety of other wildlife, including lions, leopards, a profusion of bird species, and the larger-than-life crocodiles of the Galana River.

Safari activities in Tsavo East are diverse, providing visitors with a chance to fully immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the African bush. Game drives are the most popular way to explore, offering opportunities to witness the Big Five and the park’s famous ‘red’ elephants. For a more intimate encounter with nature, guided walking safaris take visitors on a journey through the untamed land, while bird watchers can revel in the park’s ornithological riches, especially around the Lugard Falls area. The Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest lava flow, offers a stunning backdrop for sundowner experiences, where guests can sip on cocktails while soaking in the breathtaking views as the sun sets on another day in this untamed Kenyan paradise.
