TSAVO EAST NATIONAL PARK
Home of the Red Elephants
Kenya’s largest national park at 11,747 square kilometers. an arid wilderness renowned for its large herds of red elephants – including some of Africa’s last giant tuskers – which acquire their terra cotta colour by wallowing and dust-bathing in Tsavo’s red laterite soil. Tsavo lions are different, too. The males have little or no mane.
