Tsavo · tsavo east
Kenya’s largest park and one of its emptiest. Elephants dusted red with Tsavo soil, the Galana River and Lugard Falls, and the vast view from Mudanda Rock, with long stretches of the day when yours is the only vehicle.
The signature moment: A family of red elephants drinking at the waterhole in front of your tent.
