Safari summary

Tsavo West National Park is famously home to the iconic “red elephants,” which earn their striking rusty color from the park’s rich, iron-oxide soil that they regularly dust themselves with. Seeing these massive herds moving gracefully across the volcanic plains, against a backdrop of lava flows, rocky outcrops, and the distant Chyulu Hills, is one of Tsavo’s most memorable sights. Their unique coloration, combined with the park’s dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife, gives Tsavo West a raw, untamed beauty that sets it apart from other safari destinations.
