Tsavo East National Park is in the coastal circuit, one of Kenya’s oldest and largest National Parks in Kenya at the eastern edge of the inland plateau. Here you find bushy grasslands and rocky open plains alternating with semi-arid acacia scrub and woodland, with the Galana River cutting a green swathe across the park.

The seasonal Voi and Tiva rivers are important to the northern and southern portions of the park, as there is little other surface water. Mudanda Rock is a great spectacle of this park as this outcrop is a water catchment area that feeds a natural dam where hundreds of elephants come to drink and bathe during the dry season. The views are exceptional and it is a good place to sit and watch game. Ancient volcanic activity is evident at the Yatta Plateau a long flat-topped lava ridge on the western border of Tsavo East.

In the park, there are special elephants called red elephants which you cannot find in other parks, and different species of birds. You will see other animals like Lions, Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelles, Buffaloes, Waterbucks, and Impalas among others.
