About Tsavo East National Park
Tsavo East is one of Kenya's oldest and largest national parks, covering approximately 40% of the total area of all Kenya's national parks. Its beautiful landscape and proximity to the coast make it a popular safari destination, and it is accredited as one of the world's leading bio-diversity strongholds. Tsavo East is recommended for photographers with its fabulous light and unbelievable views, in particular Mudanda Rock and the Yatta Plateau, the world's largest lava flow. Home to some of the largest herds in Kenya, the elephants glow red after dust baths, blowing the vivid red dust through their trunks over their bodies.
