Whilst Tsavo is huge and approximately over 4500sq miles, most of the park along Galana river is closed to public and only visited by few private safari, however this should not deter one to visit the park as the public part of the park is still massive and has lots to explore. The park has good signposted roads important in navigating the park.
The main attraction of the Tsavo East National park are, Yatta plateau, the lugards falls and Galana River, Mudanda Rock, Aruba dam, and lastly the big five.
The Tsavo is distinguished mostly because of its ‘red’ elephants, black rhinos, buffaloes and lions. Tsavo is particularly popular because of the Man eating lions of Tsavo, the park tones of history behind especially one that touch on building the linking railway line from Mombasa to Nairobi.

There is a number of accommodation lodges around the park, all set within the parks natural habitat. All game safaris at Tsavo are accompanied by professional warders and safari guides.
