Worth agreeing on before you meet
Tsavo's Red Elephants
The elephants of Tsavo are famous for dust-bathing in the red volcanic soil, giving them a rust-red colour found nowhere else in Africa. They are also among the last populations of large-tusked elephants. Observe from a distance and never approach or try to attract their attention. These animals have lived through poaching pressure and can be less tolerant of vehicles than Masai Mara elephants.
Conservation Context
Tsavo was the site of one of Africa's worst poaching crises in the 1970s–80s. The recovery of elephant populations here is a genuine conservation success. Kenya Wildlife Service rangers risk their lives to protect these animals. The park fees you pay fund their salaries and operations directly.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Tsavo National Park travel guide.
