TSAVO EAST

Tsavo East National Park is a large and diverse safari destination in the southeastern part of Kenya, where visitors can experience the wild and rugged landscapes of the Taru Desert.

Tsavo East National Park is known for its abundant and varied wildlife, especially its massive herds of red elephants that wander the plains and bathe in the Galana River. The elephants are the largest and most numerous in Kenya, and they have a distinctive reddish-brown color due to the dust they spray on themselves.

The park is home to other animals such as rhinos, buffaloes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and many more. The rhinos are among the most endangered animals in the world, and are protected in a fenced sanctuary within the park. The lions are famous for their maneless appearance and their reputation as man-eaters during the construction of the railway in the 19th century.

The park has a varied landscape, offering scenic views and diverse habitats. The most striking feature is the Yatta Plateau, the longest lava flow in the world, which runs along the western boundary of the park above the Galana River. The park also has other attractions such as the Lugard Falls, a series of white water rapids on the river, and the Mudanda Rock, a huge rock that acts as a water catchment and a vantage point for wildlife viewing.
