Nationaal park Tsavo East

Nationaal park Tsavo East

  • The Theatre of the wild

    Tsavo East is one of the oldest and largest national parks in Kenya, covering a staggering 13,747 square kilometers. Known for its literal “limitless” horizons, the park is a land of iron-red dust and ancient baobabs. It offers a raw, off-the-beaten-path safari experience that feels significantly more wild and untamed than the smaller parks of the Rift Valley.

  • What to expect

    1. The Famous “Red Elephants”: Tsavo East is home to Kenya’s largest elephant population. They are famous for their distinct reddish color, a result of bathing in the park’s red volcanic soil to protect their skin from the sun.

    2. The Legend of the Man-Eaters: The park is steeped in history, most notably the “Man-Eaters of Tsavo”—a pair of lions that terrorized railway workers in the late 1890s. Today, its lion prides remain a major draw.

    3. Unique Geography: Featuring the Yatta Plateau (the world’s longest lava flow) and the life-giving Galana River, the landscape is a dramatic backdrop for wildlife photography.

  • Seasonal Overview

    During the dry Season, animals stay close to the Galana River and waterholes, making sightings very predictable, and on the green season it favors more for birdwatchers ( over 500 species ) and seeing the vast red dust turn into vibrant green plains.
