Tsavo East

Tsavo East National Park, located in southeastern Kenya, is one of the country’s largest and oldest national parks, covering over 13,700 square kilometers. It is renowned for its diverse landscapes, which range from vast savannahs to riverine forests, and is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including large populations of elephants, lions, giraffes, and zebras.

The park is famous for its iconic red elephants, which are coated in the park’s red earth. The Tsavo River flows through the park, providing a vital water source for wildlife and creating stunning natural features such as the Lugard Falls. Tsavo East also offers excellent game-viewing opportunities, particularly for those seeking to see the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros).

With its remote location and expansive terrain, Tsavo East offers a more rugged and authentic safari experience, far from the crowds found in other parks. It is a must-visit destination for safari enthusiasts seeking both wildlife and natural beauty in Kenya’s wild heart.
