The Theatre of the Wild

Tsavo East National Park

Welcome to Tsavo East National Park, Kenya’s largest protected area and a true wilderness experience, famously known as the “Theatre of the Wild.” Here, the iconic image of dust-red elephants bathing and playing in the midnight-blue waters of the Galana River, shaded by lush palms, defines the raw beauty of the African wild.

The park is home to the Yatta Plateau, a geological marvel stretching over 300 kilometres, making it the longest lava flow in the world—a dramatic backdrop to your safari adventure.

Tsavo East boasts incredible game viewing and is home to:

  • Large mammals including elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, lions, and leopards
  • Crocodiles and hippos basking along the Galana River
  • Rare species like lesser kudu and gerenuk
  • Over 500 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers

With its vast open landscapes, untamed terrain, and rich biodiversity, Tsavo East offers a truly unfiltered safari experience—perfect for travellers seeking adventure, solitude, and the spirit of the wild.
