Inside Tsavo East National Park, the Athi and Tsavo rivers converge to form the Galana River. Most of the park consists of semi-arid grasslands and savanna. It is considered one of the world’s biodiversity strongholds, and its popularity is mostly due to the vast amounts of diverse wildlife that can be seen, including the famous ‘big five’.
This Park can be visited during all the year, but the best period for wildlife viewing is for sure from June to October in Dry season. During this season, the vegetation is thinner, and animals congregate around predictable sources of water.
Let’s go inside!
