Tsavo East National Park

Not nearly as much wildlife as Tsavo West. Very sparse sightings. But the beauty is fabulous. I wish we had spent more time there and my opinion may be more favorable.

A trip I will never forget

Tsavo East is as epic.

Wild animals living free in copious amounts of land.

We even managed to find a lion pride eating a kill and a lion stalking a gazelle through the bush.

The whole experience was a great adventure and one I would recommend to anyone seeking a taste of what it's like to see animals in the wild instead of a false zoo experience where the animals are caged

It's a very large park and you may drive for a long time without seeing many animals. The scenery is nice though and there is plenty of elephants. You are also not likely to encounter many other vehicles

Tsavo EastNational Park is big and has a bigger number of wildlife. though most of them are hard to find. if you happen to be at the right place in the right time, you will be happy you visited. if you are lucky enough you'll find all the big five members in a day. There are good hotels inside the park incase one plans on staying for a fews days.

First park we visited

This is the first park my 5 yo son and I visited during this trip.
We had an excellent driver and confortable car for the whole safarifrom ketsafaris.com and spent our night in a good place with wonderful view, good food and leopards elephants and buffalo coming in front of us. Scenic view was excellent and we did really enjoy the time we spent there

Tsavo East National Park is one of the world's largest game reserves, providing undeveloped wilderness homes to vast numbers of animals.We have stayed at a few lodges both in Tsavo east and West and had good sightings of most of kenya's wildlife.

Very open parc, you can see the animals from far away. At the waterholes it was always busy with al kind of animals.

Almost eaten by elephant

While in reservation, it looked like there is something alive everywhere you looked. Guide (or lets call him the driver) was native Kenyan. He was able to spot lion 5km away from us while driving (avoiding holes on road) and talking to us. All drivers were cooperating like bees. They notified others when there was something special. If that happened, time stopped and every car was rushing to the announced spot. This showed to be very efficient, we have seen lion kittens, lion dragging his pray, bathing elephants, fighting impalas, little playful elephants and zebras. We were also woken up by an elephant eating our roof during deep night in camp (we actually mostly smelled this one, it was really dark :) )... To sum up, you should put this on your bucket list.

I loved tsavo east. From the moment I entered the park I was greeted by animals everywhere. My camera was going non stop.

Great game viewing in a very accessible park

Straddling the highway between Nairobi and Mombasa, Tsavo East and West together form the biggest park in Kenya. At over 20,000 square kilometres, the Tsavos cover four percent of the country’s land, and together are larger than Israel.
Tsavo East is the busier of the two parks in terms of visitor numbers, and is especially popular with day visitors who’re staying in Mombasa or along the coast. Voi Gate is the best place to enter, and the areas around here offer fantastic game viewing. There is a plain around Aruba Dam that is teeming with wildlife; when I was there, I saw a herd of elephants, buffalo, zebra, impala and a troop of baboons – at the same time – as well as a very shy jackal.
Tsavo East is neatly divided into north and south by the Galana River. Two-thirds of the park lies north of the Galana, but this area is essentially off-limits to visitors. South of the Galana, however, there is plenty of wildlife and most animals seem to be used to vehicles, so you have some fantastic opportunities to get good wildlife photographs.
