Tsavo National Park

Spot the unique red elephants and enjoy breathtaking views over the Taita Hills and Kilimanjaro. Drive through Tsavo or spot wildlife from the SGR, the railway that connects the capital Nairobi with the coastal city of Mombasa.

Tsavo East and Tsavo West

Tsavo National Park is famous for its iconic red African soil, which is also why it's known for its red elephants. The park is named after the Tsavo River and is divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Tsavo East is one of the oldest and largest parks in Kenya, but due to its relatively flat landscape, many tourists prefer Tsavo West. The two parks are separated by one of East Africa's main transport routes: Mombasa Road. Recently, the railway has also been added to the mix. If you take the train from, for example, Nairobi to Mombasa, you’ll spot elephants and other wildlife right from the train. Now that’s a bit different from seeing a classic Dutch cow in a green field!

No Tsavo? Then do Lumo Conservancy!

If you want to do things a little differently, visit Lumo Conservancy. This park is located on the border of Tsavo West and was established in 1997 by three rangers who decided to create a wildlife nature reserve together. The park is packed with wildlife, and its landscape, mainly consisting of vast savannahs, is breathtakingly beautiful. You also get amazing views of the Taita Hills and Mount Kilimanjaro. Since it’s a conservancy, the rules are more flexible. You’re not bound by specific opening and closing times, so you can go on a night safari with a ranger and a spotlight. Plus, the community here benefits greatly. Infrastructure, education, healthcare – everything is improving thanks to the funds generated by the conservancy. That’s responsible safari tourism at its best!
