Tsavo East National Park

Tsavo East National Park is located in southeastern Kenya and a little northwest of the sister Tsavo West National Park. The national park encompasses an area of 5,308 square miles (13,747 sq km). The Tsavo River flows easterly through the park and serves as the park’s namesake. Along with Tsavo West National Park, Tsavo East borders Chyulu Hills, National Park. Tsavo East national park is nicknamed the “Theatre of the Wild”. It’s famous for its large herds of red-dusted Elephants which like rolling on the red dusty soil. The young ones like playing with the adults as they keep spraying themselves with dust.
