Description

Tsavo East Nationa Park forms part of the largest protected area in Kenya and is home to most of the larger mammals, vast herds of dust –red elephant, Rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, pods of hippo, crocodile, waterbucks, lesser Kudu, gerenuk and the prolific bird life features 500 recorded species. Tsavo East covers more than 13,700 km², making it nine times larger than the Maasai Mara. It has lovely scenery and its attractions include the Mudanda Rock and Yatta Plateau, the world's largest example of lava flow. The park is probably best known for its enormous herds of red elephants that dust themselves with the red-oxide soil so typical of Tsavo. Other species to be on the lookout for are the endemic desert warthog, hirola (also known as Hunter's hartebeest) and Peter's Gazelle. Apart from its teeming elephant population, another main attraction at Tsavo East is its sheer vastness. Even less developed than Tsavo West, the eastern sector feels far more remote and wild. Sometimes, it's possible to go on game drives all day without encountering another vehicle. Tsavo National Park makes a great addition onto any Kenyan safari itinerary.

Tour Plan

Day 1. Tsavo East National Park
You would be picked up from your hotel at 06:00 and be driven to Tsavo East National Park where you would arrive at 09:00 time for a morning game drive until time for sumptuous lunch in Ashil Aruba Lodge at 13:00. Ashnil Aruba overlooks the Aruba Dam in the heart of Tsavo East, one of Kenya's greatest and most popular national parks. Surrounded by vast arid plains, the dam's waters attract large numbers of game, especially elephants, making for good viewing from the lodge. Ashnil Aruba's location ensures you'll get what you came for – good sightings of big numbers of game, especially elephants. The summers get hot here, but the rains bring colour and life to the otherwise barren plains, making the best time to visit between December and March (if you can cope with the heat). In the afternoon from 15:00 you would depart for an afternoon game drive in expansive Tsavo East National Park until time for dinner and overnight in Ashnil Aruba Lodge at around 18:30 time to come back for refreshment and the later dinner.
