Wildlife & Attractions
Tsavo Red Elephants: Tsavo is the only sanctuary in the world that boasts the red elephants, and these majestic animals are the parks greatest attraction. The elephants are actually the same grey colour as every other elephant in the world, however, they just appear brick – red due to constantly dust bathing in the fine red volcanic soil of Tsavo. They dust and wallow to cool off and deter parasites.
Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo: The shaggy maned lions of the legendary man eaters of Tsavo are one of the most memorable sights that you’ll get to spot. These specific predators rose to fame back in 1898, during the construction of the Kenyan-Uganda railway when 2 male lions chewed their way through 135 railway workers in a span of 9 months.
Shetani Lava: About 4km west of the Chyulu gate in Tsavo West are the spectacular Shetani Lava Flows. Shetani which is a Swahili term for Devil: The flows were formed over 200 years ago. The locals believed that it was the devil himself emerging from the earth.
Leopard, Cheetah, Wild dogs, Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Masai Giraffe, Burchell’s Zebra, Lion, Lesser Kudu, and Nocturnal Porcupine among many others are found I this park.
Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks is during the dry seasons – January to February and June to September. During these periods, wildlife congregates around water sources, making it easier to spot animals. The weather is pleasant, and vegetation is less dense, enhancing visibility.
However, wildlife viewing is still excellent in the short rains of October to December. The wet seasons (March to May and November) bring lush landscapes but may make some roads impassable.
Our expertly crafted itineraries promise thrilling safaris, breathtaking landscapes, and a close encounter with nature’s wonders. Choose your preferred experience – vibrant greenery or prime wildlife viewing – and plan
accordingly.
