Today is devoted to game viewing with your guide in the eastern sector of Tsavo National Park, with morning and afternooon game drives. At over 7,000 square miles (11,747 square km), this vast national park is the largest in Kenya.
The flat open grasslands of Tsavo East offer easy game viewing, with animals attracted by its dams and the Galana River which flows through it. Wildlife is diverse with particularly good elephant sightings, as large herds roam freely between Tsavo and Amboseli. Lion, buffalo, leopard and wild dog are present and plains game is plentiful - including giraffe, zebra, the small dik-dik, Grant's gazelle, kudu, waterbuck, bushbuck, eland, oryx, wildebeest, vervet monkey and baboon. Hippos and crocodiles can be seen in the rivers and dams and keep an eye out for smaller animals such as the hyrax, mongoose, monitor lizard, chameleon and tortoise. There is also a great variety of birdlife including hornbills, guineafowls, francolins, ostrichs, shrikes, larks, pipits and many raptors - both resident and migrant.
