Tsavo East National ParkReference Code: ET20060616-JJHBoth Tsavo East and West together form one of Africa's largest wilderness reserves. Tsavo as a whole covers 20,812 square km pure wilderness, incorporating savannah, ranges and hills, acacia and montane forest, and an extensive river system.
The vast plains of Tsavo are crossed by the main Nairobi-Mombasa railroad. This historic railway was, in 1899, the scene of one of Africa's greatest Adventure stories. Two large lions actively preyed on the railway workers as they built a bridge over the Tsavo river, claiming over 120 victims. They evaded hunters for well over a year, and the legend of the Maneaters of Tsavo was born.
Chartered flights can also be used to cover this extensive home of wilderness.
The sheer scale of Tsavo gives the visitor a chance to really get away from it all, and to explore the wild in total solitude. The park is larger than Jamaica or Wales.

Elephant, their hides often a luminous red with dust, as well as Lion, Buffalo, Eland, Giraffe Impala, Kudu and possibly Rhinoceros.
