Tsavo National Park is Kenya's largest protected area, divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West, covering nearly 22,000 square kilometers. The park is famous for its "red elephants" that dust-bathe in the park's red volcanic soil, creating a unique and photogenic spectacle. Tsavo offers diverse landscapes from open plains to volcanic hills, palm-fringed rivers, and natural springs. The park's size and varied habitats support a wide range of wildlife, including one of Kenya's largest elephant populations.
