After returning to your lodge for breakfast, you’ll depart for Tsavo East National Park, home to Kenya’s famous ‘red elephants’. So named for the volcanic red dust that they ‘bathe’ in, the elephants of Tsavo are something unique to Kenya.

In fact, ‘unique’ could very well be the perfect word to describe the twin parks of Tsavo West and Tsavo East. With their blend of volcanic terrain, palm-lined rivers, idyllic oases, and liquid lava, the park is like something out of fantasy.

Full day of game drives in Tsavo East National Park. Lunch may be a picnic in the park or a hot meal at the lodge.
