Tsavo EastNational Park

Tsavo East is known for its vast semi-arid wilderness of red earth and scrubland, the palm-fringed Galana River, red-dusted elephants, and the legendary man-eating lions of Tsavo. It is also one of Kenya's oldest and largest national parks.

The elephants often look red because they dust themselves with the park's red soil, especially after wallowing or mud-bathing. The page highlights these red-dusted elephants as a signature sight of Tsavo East.

The Galana River is a palm-fringed watercourse running through Tsavo East's semi-arid scrubland. It offers a scenic contrast to the surrounding red earth and is an important area for wildlife viewing.

Tsavo East National Park is in southeastern Kenya, in the vast Tsavo conservation area between Nairobi and Mombasa. It lies east of the Nairobi-Mombasa highway and is often visited alongside Tsavo West.

Tsavo East is famous for its red-dusted elephants and its lions, including the legacy of the legendary man-eating lions of Tsavo. The semi-arid scrub and Galana River habitat also support other savanna and riverine wildlife.
