About this experience

Tsavo East National Park is one of Kenya’s largest protected areas—wild, open and authentic. Vast red-earth plains dotted with baobabs, seasonal rivers and big skies set the stage for classic safaris, with dust-tinted elephant herds as the park’s timeless emblem.

Film lovers will recognize Tsavo from The Ghost and the Darkness (1996), inspired by the true story of the 1898 “man-eaters of Tsavo” during construction of the railway bridge—an iconic, if dramatic, chapter in East African history.
