Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks

These parks are known for their large herds of red elephants, including several impressive “big tuskers.” The landscapes are dramatic and diverse, and wildlife such as giraffes, buffalos, and big cats add to the photo safari experience.

Here we focus on the big red tuskers and the mud bathing points.

Many species frequent these sites to drink and mud- bathe, for cover against the hot sun and parasites.

The predators lay ambush around such water points. Early morning and evening drives can be more promising.
