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.<\/p>\n[\/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”20″ width=”30″ height=”20″ titleclr=”#890000″ icon=”fas fa-route” iconclr=”#890000″ iconbg=”#f8f8f8″ borderclr=”#f8f8f8″ title=”What to expect”]\n
