Getting There

Must-See Highlights
The Red-Dusted Landscapes
Tsavo East is known for its striking red-dusted landscapes, a result of the park’s unique geology. The rust-red soil, volcanic ash, and ancient lava flows create a surreal backdrop for your safari adventure.
The Big Five
Cheer on your favorite predators as we track the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros – in their natural habitat. Our expert guides will ensure you get up close and personal with these incredible creatures.
Shetani Lava Flow
This 7-kilometer-long lava flow is a sight to behold. Take a moment to appreciate the eerie beauty of this ancient volcanic wonder, formed around 200 years ago.
