National Park · Kenya

Tsavo East & West

Kenya's greatest wilderness — 22,000 square kilometres of red earth, lava flows, crystal springs and the famous red-dusted elephants of Tsavo.

Highlight

The Red Elephants of Tsavo

Tsavo's elephants glow terracotta-red, powdered head to tail in the park's iron-rich dust. Watching a hundred of them stream down to the Galana River at sunset is pure, primal Africa.

This is big, empty, thrilling country — the land of the legendary man-eaters and of massive-tusked bulls that still roam far from any road.

Highlight

Mzima Springs & Lava Country

In Tsavo West, fifty million gallons of crystal water bubble daily from beneath the Chyulu lava — walk to the underwater viewing chamber and watch hippos dance on their toes below the surface.

Above ground, explore the jagged Shetani lava flow, cloud-catching volcanic hills and rock-climbing viewpoints over an endless horizon.

An underwater viewing chamber unlike anywhere else in Africa.

Far fewer visitors

Big-park solitude that the famous reserves can no longer offer.
