About This Destination

Tsavo Red Elephant Safari

Tsavo is Kenya's largest national park — one of the largest in the world — covering over 22,000 square kilometres of semi-arid wilderness between Nairobi and Mombasa. Split into Tsavo East and Tsavo West, the park is famous for its red-stained elephants whose coats absorb the district's distinctive laterite dust, the crystal-clear Mzima Springs, the dramatic Shetani lava flow, and the remote, untamed character that distinguishes it from Kenya's better-known parks. For travellers who want to escape the crowds and experience a truly wild Africa, Tsavo delivers an experience unlike anywhere else on the continent.
