Tsavo east national park is one of Kenya's oldest and
largest National Parks: covering approximately 40% of
the total area of all of Kenya's National Parks (an area
of about 11,747 sq. km). Its
beautiful landscape and proximity to the Coast make it a
popular safari destination. It is accredited as one of
the World's leading bio-diversity strongholds, bushy
grassland and open plains alternating with savannah and
semi-arid acacia scrub and woodlands. Green swathes
cross the Park where the river banks give rise to lush
vegetation. North of Galana is a true wilderness. A
number of leading tour guides offer private safaris
throughout this area, camel safaris are a feature.
Tsavo East is recommended for photographers with its
fabulous light and unbelievable views, in particular the
Mudanda Rock and the Yatta Plateau, the world's largest
lava flow. Luggard's Falls on the Galana River are
remarkable for the shaped water-worn rocks. Game
includes: elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, crocodile,
waterbuck, kudu, gerenuk, and zebra and Aruba Hunter's
Hartebeest can be seen with its Lyre-shaped horns. Home
to some of the largest herds in Kenya, the elephants
glow red after dust baths, blowing the vivid red dust
through their trunks over their bodies.
500 bird species are recorded including ostrich and
some migratory kestrels and buzzards stop at Tsavo-East
during their long flight south.
Accommodation: One lodge with 104 beds, four tented
camps (total 92 beds), two campsites (total 36 beds),
one self-help banda site with 12 beds and nine
campsites. Further lodges and tented camps are planned.
