Tsavo East is one of the oldest and largest national parks in Kenya, famous for its herds of elephants dusted red by the local soil. The open landscape makes for wonderful game viewing: lion, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and the rare fringe-eared oryx.
Highlights include the Galana River and Lugard Falls, Mudanda Rock where wildlife gathers to drink, and the Aruba Dam. Tsavo is an easy add-on to a Mombasa or Diani beach holiday.
