Overview
Spanning over 22,000 km², Tsavo (split into Tsavo East and Tsavo West) is Kenya’s largest wilderness, famed for its raw, untamed beauty. Tsavo East’s vast red-dusted plains are roamed by iconic “red elephants” dust-bathing in volcanic soil, while Tsavo West’s lush volcanic springs like Mzima attract hippos and crocodiles. The park is steeped in legend, from the infamous 19th-century “Man-Eaters of Tsavo” lions to the dramatic Shetani Lava Flows. Spot the Big Five, marvel at the Lugard Falls rapids, and explore the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, a critical refuge for black rhinos. With its rugged landscapes and rich biodiversity, Tsavo offers a wild, crowd-free safari experience unlike any other.
