The sight of dust-red elephants wallowing, rolling, and spraying each other with the midnight blue waters of the palm-shaded Galana River is one of the most evocative images in Africa. This, along with the 300 km long Yatta Plateau, the longest lava flow in the world, makes for an adventure unlike any other in the Tsavo East.
The park forms the largest protected area in Kenya and is home to most of the larger mammals, vast herds of dust –red elephant, Rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, pods of hippo, crocodile, waterbucks, lesser Kudu, gerenuk, and the prolific bird life features 500 recorded species.
Tsavo’s location between Nairobi and the coastal city of Mombasa makes it an excellent addition to a beach holiday. Visitors can easily combine a safari in Tsavo with a relaxing stay on the Kenyan coast.
Visiting Tsavo National Parks offers a chance to experience one of Africa’s largest and most diverse ecosystems, with rich wildlife, stunning landscapes, and fewer crowds, making it a perfect destination for a memorable and immersive safari adventure.
