Tsavo East National Park | East Africa Park
Tsavo-East is one of Kenya's oldest and largest National Parks: covering approximately 40% of the total area of all of Kenya's National Parks. Its beautiful landscape and proximity to the Coast make it a popular safari destination.
It is accredited as one of the World's leading bio-diversity strongholds, bushy grassland and open plains alternating with savannah and semi-arid acacia scrub and woodlands.
Green swathes cross the Park where the river banks give rise to lush vegetation.
North of Galana is a true wilderness. A number of leading tour guides offer private safaris throughout this area, camel safaris are a feature.
Tsavo east national park is the ideal place to experience the magic of African wildlife! whilst staying in Kenya on honeymoon, we decided to take a saafari trip and chose Tsavo east primarily because of its position in relation to our hotel on diani beach.
Tsavo east is not as large as the more well-known Masai mara reserve. there is every species on offer with the exception of flamingos.
