Tsavo East National Park

Tsavo East is Kenya's largest national park, an arid wilderness of red laterite plains, lava flows, and the permanent Galana River. It is known for its dust-red elephants, who coat themselves in the iron-rich soil, and for Mudanda Rock, a natural dam where hundreds of elephants gather in the dry season. The Yatta Plateau, one of the world's longest lava flows, bisects the park and supports a distinct scrub habitat.
