Tsavo East is the sister park of Tsavo West National Park. Tsavo East is the larger of the two and is, in fact, one of the largest parks in Kenya at more than 13,000 square kilometers. Unlike many other parks in Kenya, Tsavo East is comprised mostly of savanna and grassland.
Nonetheless, it is one of the most biologically diverse areas in Africa and is home to lions, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, leopards, buffalos and much more, along with a plethora of bird species including the sacred ibis, black kite and crowned crane. If your goal is to view wildlife Tsavo East National Park Safari Tours are the best way you do that.
Best Attractions in Tsavo East National Park
There are lots of fun adventures to have in Tsavo East National Park. Some of these activities include:
Visit the Galana River – at the northernmost point of the park runs the Galana River, which combines the rivers of Tsavo and Athi. Sightings of crocodiles, hippos, waterbucks, lions and leopards are fairly common.
Mudana Rock – near the Manyani gate towers an inselberg of stratified rock, acting as a water catchment for a natural dam below. Leopards and elephants are among other wildlife which often gather here.
Crocodile Point – Located on the banks of the Galana river, you can find Crocodile Point. There is a good chance you will spot crocodiles from here, and you are allowed to alight from your vehicle.
Tsavo East National Park is a great place to spot animals due to the lack of foliage and the vast open spaces. Contact Us today for more information.
Visitors to Tsavo East can expect a hot, dry climate. The average temperature fluctuates between 31°C/88°F during the day and 20°C/68°F at nighttime. Rainfall peaks in April and November during the long and short rains, respectively.
