Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks together form the largest national park in Kenya, covering just under 22,000 square kilometers. Established in May 1948, the park was divided into east and west for administrative reasons, named after the Tsavo River that flows through the region. Renowned as one of the world’s biodiversity strongholds, Tsavo East is unique in allowing night drives, offering adventurous guests the chance to spot nocturnal wildlife.

While the vast landscape requires patience during game viewing, experienced safari guides are knowledgeable about animal movements and seasonal migration paths, ensuring rewarding experiences. Popular attractions in Tsavo East include Mudanda Rock, Yatta Plateau, and Lugard Falls. Tsavo West features diverse landscapes, ranging from swamps and natural springs to rocky peaks and rolling plains, though dense scrub can make wildlife spotting more challenging.
