Tsavo Safari
Explore the vast and rugged landscapes of Tsavo National Park, Kenya's largest and one of its oldest parks. Divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West, this expansive wilderness offers a unique safari experience, rich in wildlife and natural beauty.
Tsavo East - The Theater of the Wild:
Tsavo East is renowned for its large herds of red elephants, so named because of the red dust they bathe in. The park's open savannahs and scattered acacia trees create a picturesque setting for game viewing. The Galana River and the Yatta Plateau, the world's longest lava flow, add to the park's diverse landscapes.
Tsavo West - Land of Lava, Springs, and Man-Eaters:
Tsavo West is a land of contrasts, with its volcanic landscapes, including the Shetani lava flow, and the oasis-like Mzima Springs, where hippos and crocodiles thrive. The park is also home to the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, a critical habitat for the endangered black rhino.
