Tsavo East National Park
For those who seek raw, unadulterated wilderness, Tsavo East is one of the world’s most dramatic safari destinations. It is Kenya’s oldest and largest park, defined by vast, open, arid savannas. What makes Tsavo East truly unique is its dust. The soil is rich in iron, turning everything a deep crimson red. When the ‘dust-red’ Tsavo Elephants bath and play, they become “red elephants”—a spectacular sight found nowhere else. We also explore the dramatic Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest lava flow, and navigate past huge populations of hippos and crocodiles on the Galana River.
