Since we had more time in Tsavo east so we had a slightly better wildlife experience here compared to Taita hills.
Also, we really enjoyed our stay at Ashnil Aruba lodge.

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

Less animals than in earlier years, but still very nice. Always a special place due to the red soil which colors the animals.

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

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

Having visited Tsavo East National Park in 1992 I always vowed to bring my wife to the park and experience the wildlife, scenery and hospitality that the staff at the lodges offer. We were not disappointed all the lodges we stayed in were superb and our guide who we booked with JT Safaris was exceptional.

A great park to visit. I only spent a short time there but it was worth the trip. I was able to photograph some different wildlife, like the Gerenuk. It was also really pretty landscape.

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

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
