Tsavo East National Park

Vast, untamed, and iconic, Tsavo East National Park is Kenya’s largest National Park and a premier destination for immersive wildlife safaris and outdoor adventure. The park unfolds as a sweeping semi-arid wilderness where dust-red elephants roam freely across open plains, acacia scrub, and volcanic landscapes.

The park’s scenery is shaped by the shimmering Galana River, whose emerald and azure waters cut through arid bushlands, and the imposing Yatta Plateau — the world’s longest lava flow — creating striking contrasts that make Tsavo East a natural stage for visual storytelling and filmmaking. By night, its vast open skies and minimal light pollution offer exceptional conditions for astro tourism and guided night wildlife safaris, revealing constellations overhead and nocturnal wildlife below.

Tsavo East supports an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including the critically endangered hirola. A true birdwatchers’ haven, the park has recorded over 500 bird species, attracting migratory birds from across the globe.

Beyond game drives, Tsavo East offers expansive terrain ideal for sports, endurance events, and outdoor experiences, from guided walks and photographic safaris to nature-based events. Rich in cultural and heritage significance, the park’s landscapes echo stories of early exploration and long-standing human–wildlife coexistence, adding depth and meaning to every visit. Together, Tsavo East National Park delivers a powerful blend of wilderness, heritage, cinematic landscapes, and adventure on a truly grand scale.
