Tsavo (East & West)

Original on transparent_edited (1).png

Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, together form one of the world's largest wildlife sanctuaries.


offer contrasting yet equally captivating safari experiences.


Offering contrasting yet equally captivating safari experiences, both parks provide the opportunity to witness unique behaviours, such as elephants dust-bathing in red soil, creating the park's famous "red elephants" and Tsavo was once infamous for its man-eating lions of the late 19th century, adding a touch of historical intrigue to the safari experience.


Known for its vast, open plains and red elephants, Tsavo East is a land of dramatic landscapes and diverse wildlife. The Yatta Plateau, the world's longest lava flow, and the Galana River, a lifeline for the park's animals, are among its notable features. Visitors can spot elephants, lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, and a variety of bird species.


With its rugged terrain, volcanic hills, and lush oases, Tsavo West offers a more varied experience. The Mzima Springs, a series of natural springs teeming with fish and hippos, and the Shetani Lava Flow, a stark reminder of the park's volcanic past, are among its highlights. The park is home to a similar array of wildlife as Tsavo East but with the bonus of black rhinos.
