Tsavo National Park Safari Trips & Tours

Discover the big cats, dust-red elephants and dramatic habitats of Tsavo East & West.
Tsavo East and West National Parks cover a massive 21 000 square kilometres of vast red-soiled, acacia studded wilderness. Combined, the parks make up one of Kenya's biggest protected areas and is home to some of the largest herds of elephant in Africa. The red dust gives the elephants a famously dark red glow from the mud, as they roam the plains and rolling scrub-covered hills. Tsavo is also a big cat haven, with lion, leopard, cheetah, and serval in abundance. With very few lodges, a visit to this area is an escape into the wilderness, and a truly exclusive experience away from the crowds of the Mara and other more densely populated regions. Tsavo-East is also a fantastic place for photographers with its fabulous light and unbelievable views, in particular the Mudanda Rock, Lugard Falls and Yatta Plateau. And once you have got your fill of Tsavo's incredible wildlife, it's a short hop to the beautiful beaches of southern Kenya.
Things to do

What to do in Tsavo

Combining the reserves of its East and West, Tsavo National Park is a relatively human-free haven for big cats including lion, leopard, cheetah and serval, and some of the largest herds of elephant in Africa. The handful of properties in Tsavo offer day and night drives, insightful bush walks with Maasai guides, and fantastic photography opportunities. You may also be able to visit the Ithumba Reintegration Unit, which helps return rescued elephants from the Sheldrick orphanage to the wild.
