Park Highlights
In May 1948, a month after its conception Tsavo National Park was divided into East and West for administrative purposes. At 21 812 square km, Tsavo National Park is the largest park in Kenya. Named after the Tsavo River which flows from west to east, the park is considered one of the world's biodiversity strongholds.
It is the only Kenyan park that permits night drives. You will have to work for game sightings and be patient, but the reward is good. The experienced safari guides are familiar with the game movements and season migration paths and times of Tsavo's wildlife.
What Sun Safaris Says
Tsavo East is popular for short safaris from the Kenya coast. Visitors on sun holidays often take short breaks to Tsavo East. Because of this it can get plenty of traffic, however it, along with Tsavo West, it is an economical option as it does not require additional flights to the Masai Mara or Amboseli. If you choose to visit we would recommend staying in a remote lodge such as Galdessa Camp in order to avoid the minibus brigade. This is situated on the southern banks of the Galada river, an area where tourisim is at a minimum.
