Tsavo East National Park is one of Kenya’s largest and oldest national parks, covering approximately 13,747 square kilometers. It is located in southeastern Kenya, near the town of Voi, and is part of the greater Tsavo Conservation Area, which includes Tsavo West National Park and Chyulu Hills National Park.
Wildlife – Tsavo East is home to the famous “Red Elephants of Tsavo”, which appear red due to the park’s iron-rich soil. Other wildlife includes lions (man-eaters of Tsavo), leopards, cheetahs, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and over 500 bird species.
Lugard Falls – A stunning rock formation along the Galana River, where water cascades through rugged, eroded rocks.
Mudanda Rock – A massive rock outcrop that serves as a natural water catchment area, attracting large herds of elephants and other wildlife.
Yatta Plateau – The world’s longest lava flow, stretching about 290 km. It offers breathtaking views and is a geological wonder.
Aruba Dam – A man-made dam that attracts numerous animals, making it an excellent spot for wildlife viewing.
The park is accessible year-round, but the dry season (June – October and January – February) is ideal for spotting wildlife as animals gather around water sources.
