Kenya's Untamed Wilderness

Tsavo

Kenya's largest national park, famous for red elephants, lava flows, and untouched wilderness.

About Tsavo

Together, Tsavo East and Tsavo West form the largest protected area in Kenya, covering over 20,000 square kilometres of diverse terrain. Tsavo West is known for its volcanic landscapes, lava flows, and the crystal-clear Mzima Springs, while Tsavo East offers vast open plains and the iconic Yatta Plateau. The park's elephants famously dust themselves in the region's red laterite soil, giving them their distinctive rust-coloured appearance.
