Tsavo East National Park is Kenya’s largest game park, incorporating a massive 13700km², whilst Tsavo West National Park is about 9065km² in size. Both Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks are located in the Coast Province of Kenya, the southeastern region of the country.

Only about 100 km from the coastline, Tsavo is within easy reach of Mombasa and the tropical beaches of East Africa. Tsavo is also close to the famous Amboseli and Masai Mara wildlife reserves, making it an ideal safari destination to combine with the most visited parks of the country.

Tsavo East is renowned for its large herds of elephants, often dramatically coated in fine red dust. The population is over 10,000 elephants strong. Tsavo East is also notorious for its lions – the ‘man-eating’ lions of Tsavo, in particular. The lions of Tsavo became famous when railway crews were attacked and many of the workers were eaten in 1898.

In addition to its famous elephants and lions, Tsavo East is also home to the other members of the Big Five – leopard, buffalo, and rhino. The black rhino population is monitored to protect these endangered mammals from poachers, but they are rarely spotted on game drives. Tsavo East is also home to the endangered hirola antelopes.

Tsavo also hosts a wide variety of other wild animals, from cheetahs, hyenas, and crocodiles to hippos, giraffes, and Grevy’s zebra, along with species typical of northern Kenya, including gerenuk and Somali ostrich. Over 500 bird species have been recorded in Tsavo East, including black kite, crowned crane, hornbill, lovebird, and sacred ibis.
