🌍 Tsavo East National Park — Kenya’s largest game reserve

Tsavo East National Park spans 11,747 km², making it the largest national park in Kenya. The Kenya Wildlife Service manages the park, which was founded in 1948. Together with Tsavo West National Park, it forms the vast Tsavo ecosystem of over 22,000 km². Tsavo East lies in Makueni, Taita-Taveta and Kilifi counties.

In general, Tsavo National Park covers a huge area and consists of two regions: Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Both lie in Kenya and are famous for their abundant wildlife. Tsavo East, sometimes called the “Taru Desert”, lies near the town of Voi and borders Tanzania, while Tsavo West stretches further inland in Kenya’s Coast Province.

Tsavo East lies mostly in Taita-Taveta County, with smaller areas in Makueni and Kilifi. Kitui County lies further north, while Tana River County is located east of the park.

• Aruba Dam: Built on the Voi River in 1952, it created a water reservoir that attracts animals and water birds.
