Day 7: Tsavo West To Tsavo East
After breakfast, you leave the hotel and head for the Tsavo river gate where you will exit the Tsavo West. We enter the Tsavo east stopping briefly at the Mudanda rock. Located near Voi and Manyani gates, the Mudanda rock is one of the great spectacles of Tsavo east national park.
This massive rock, which emerges from the plain, is a water catchments area which supplies a natural dam at its base. It is a vital watering point during the dry seasons. The Joint mass of Tsavo West and Tsavo East national parks forms one of the largest national parks in the world and covers a massive 4% of Kenya’s total land area.
Tsavo East the larger of the two, lies to the east of the Nairobi Mombasa road, equidistant between Nairobi and Mombasa, and offers a vast and untapped arena of arid bush which is washed by azure and emerald meandering of Galana River. Guarded by the limitless lava reaches of Yatta plateau and patrolled by some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya.
