This is the first park my 5 yo son and I visited during this trip.
We had an excellent driver and confortable car for the whole safarifrom ketsafaris.com and spent our night in a good place with wonderful view, good food and leopards elephants and buffalo coming in front of us. Scenic view was excellent and we did really enjoy the time we spent there

Tsavo EastNational Park is big and has a bigger number of wildlife. though most of them are hard to find. if you happen to be at the right place in the right time, you will be happy you visited. if you are lucky enough you'll find all the big five members in a day. There are good hotels inside the park incase one plans on staying for a fews days.

It's a very large park and you may drive for a long time without seeing many animals. The scenery is nice though and there is plenty of elephants. You are also not likely to encounter many other vehicles

Tsavo East is as epic.

Wild animals living free in copious amounts of land.

We even managed to find a lion pride eating a kill and a lion stalking a gazelle through the bush.

The whole experience was a great adventure and one I would recommend to anyone seeking a taste of what it's like to see animals in the wild instead of a false zoo experience where the animals are caged

Unfortunately, there was a temporary drought in this reserve during my visit. Lots of animals have moved elsewhere as a result.

Larger park but not guaranteed to see all the big 5 as you are in the Masai Mara

I had a lot of luck spotting birds. This was a great place for elephant viewing.

Very accesible, close to coast tourist city Malindi. Good for 1 or 2 days of safari. My First safari

It´s been my first safari in Africa. After 2 days (24 hours into the park) I was a bit upset, because we´ve seen lions and cheetah so far, and no leopards, but, and this is very good point, I learned that luck is very important in a safari. Some friends we´re there same days and they had seen these animals very close.
Lots of elephants and anthilops, jirafes, zebras, baboons, hipos, big eagles...
We were travelled from Malindi directly in a big Land Cruiser 4wd to 8 people, just my wife and me, with the guide and the driver, and we got a good price.
We stayed in a lodge a little bit elevated on a hill, with 2 water holes. At night I experienced the visit of lions, water buffalos, more elephants... from a bunker that lets you watch them very close. Very nice view of landscape at sunrise and sunset.
