Tsavo East National Park is Kenya’s largest and oldest park, established in 1948, known for its vast wilderness, large elephant herds, and the famous “man-eating lions” legend. The park’s landscape includes semi-arid plains and the seasonal Galana River, which supports abundant wildlife, including the iconic “red elephants” covered in local dust, as well as lions, cheetahs, and over 500 bird species. Tsavo East is often described as the “Theatre of the Wild” because of its dramatic landscapes, vast open savannahs, and striking contrasts of red-dust soil against lush greenery during the rainy season. The park is famed for its large herds of elephants often seen covered in red dust, iconic sightings of lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as diverse birdlife with over 500 recorded species. Key attractions include the Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest lava flow, the scenic Lugard Falls on the Galana River, Mudanda Rock, and the Aruba Dam which attracts wildlife for water. Tsavo East is less crowded compared to other parks, offering visitors a more raw and authentic safari experience with a true wilderness feel.
