A first encounter with Kenya's red-earth wilderness and its famous elephants — the closest of the great parks to Watamu.
Tsavo East is Kenya's largest national park and the closest great wilderness to Watamu — a few hours by road inland from the coast. Its red earth, vast open plains and famous "red elephants" coated in Tsavo dust make for an unmistakable first safari.\n\nFrom the seasonal banks of the Galana River to the Yatta Plateau — the world's longest lava flow — Tsavo East rewards visitors with sightings of elephant, lion, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and an exceptional variety of birdlife. Game drives are unhurried, with time to stop, observe and take in the silence of the bush.
