My Story: It is high time to recognize Tsavo East National park (Kenya) and give it credit that safari enthusiasts have for a long time sang and those who have not been, just dream about it!!
Mammals: Tsavo East National park is one of the Kenya’s largest national park with a vast undeveloped wilderness. It’s a home of all African big five (lions, leopards, Elephant, Buffalo and rhinos) the park hosts both White and black rhinos. It’s a home of other animals in large numbers like buffalo, dik-dik, red duiker, zebras, giraffes, bushbaby, yellow baboons, cheetahs, African hunting dogs, eland, gazelles, gerenuk, springhare, hyenas, jackals, impala, tree hyrax, hartebeest, foxes and many more.
Birds: The park has over 500 bird species that include ostriches, buzzards, krestrels, starlings, hornbills, secretary bird, lovebirds, herons, weaver birds, kingfishers and many more. Birding can be done throughout the year though its excellently during the rainy season when the park receives most of the immigrants across the world. This is also the breeding season for the birds across the park.
Yatta Plateau: The yatta plateau is the key attraction of Tsavo East National park. The world’s longest lava flow that runs along the boundary of the park on the Western side. The 300 kilometres long plateau was formed by the hot running lava from the Ol Doinyo Sabuk mountain.
Mudanda Rock: The inselberg of Mudanda are 1.6kilometers, they are the great water catchment area that supplies all the lower dams with water. It offers great vantage point for hundreds of wildlife that always come and drink water from this area. This is a game viewing destination especially during the dry season when all animals come here to quench their thirst.
Lugard Falls: Named after the first European explorer Frederick Lugard who was the first European to step at the white waterfalls. Located along the Galana river, the falls is great sightseeing area at the park.
Aruba Dam: This is one of the dams that is found at the park, it was constructed in 1952 across the Voi River. The main purpose of creating the dam was to create a reservoir of water for the wildlife during the dry season.
Tsavo East National park is not only the oldest and largest national park in Kenya but also the most popular game reserve. It hosts a wide range of wildlife that gives travellers the true feel of the African jungle
