Lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, serval cats, kongoni, kudu, oryx, impala, hyena, gazelle, buffalo and the “red” elephants (colored by the reddish soil which they apply on their bodies during sand bathing).

Birds
Around 500 bird species have been observed in the park, including ostrich and several species of migratory birds.
Tsavo East is famous for some of the largest herds of elephants in Kenya. The elephants seem to have red colour, just like many other animals in the park, which is caused by the red dust which they tend to spray themselves on against insects or parasites.
Man eater
The lions of Tsavo owe their fame to the book and movie “The Man-eaters of Tsavo”. Here, a few lions ate several railroad workers during early 20th century. The lions were later shot dead.
It seems the reason they attacked people was because of their dental arrangement, which made it difficult for them to tear off buffalo’s or gazelle’s meat.
At around 1830hours drive back to the lodge/camp of choice for dinner and overnight stay.
