Safari in Kenya: Tsavo East National park
Tsavo East National Park is among our top safari in Kenya and by far the biggest of Kenya’s parks. Tsavo East is nine times bigger than the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Most famous for its huge herds of dust-red elephants, more than 10,000 of them and the characteristically short-manned Tsavo lions. Tsavo East is 153km from Mombasa and about 2.5 – 3hrs drive to the Bachuma gate which is the 1st entrance to the park. You can never go wrong if you choose this package as part of our safari in Kenya. As well as teeming with wildlife, Tsavo East offers visitors some spectacular scenery. Some notable sights include: The Mudanda Rock which is a 1.6 km inselberg of stratified rock that acts as a water catchment that supplies a natural dam below. It offers an excellent vantage point for the hundreds of elephants and other wildlife that come to drink during the dry season.
