Discover the Untamed Beauty of Tsavo East

1. Red Elephant Encounters

See Tsavo’s famous red elephants, whose distinctive appearance comes from the park’s iron-rich red soil coating their skin. Watch these impressive animals feeding, bathing in dust and moving across the open landscape in family herds.
