The place
About Tsavo
Kenya's largest park, split into East and West, with legendary red elephants dusted in volcanic soil, Mzima Springs, and vast wilderness. Tsavo is where the famous man-eaters of the 1898 railway terrorized construction crews a story that still defines the park's reputation. Today it's one of Kenya's best-value safari destinations and the closest big park to the coast.
