- The Park
Tsavo East National Park covers an area of about 12,000 km2 and 40% of Kenya's parks' total area. The park has a beautiful landscape of plains, rocky ridges and outcrops. Due to its size, the park is among the world's wildlife and biodiversity strongholds. The park has a diversity of habitats including open plains alternating with savannah bush and semi desert scrub, acacia woodlands; rocky ridges and outcrops and more extensive ranges and isolated hills; belts of rivernie vegetation; palm thickets and on the Chulu hills, mountain forest. A section of Lake Jipe is included in the extreme south west of the park. Part of the park is of recent volcanic origin where there are many lava flows and cones including the Shaitani lava flow an example of a recent volacano. This volcanic zone also contains the Mzima spring where crystal clear water flows out from below a lava ridge.
Hot and Dry, the vegetation can generally be categorised as bushed grassland, the park has open plains alternating with savanna bush and semi-arid acacia scrub and woodlands. There are also belts of riverine vegetation.
Most large herbivores and carnivores are adequately represented in the park as well as over 500 species.
