However, its landscape is less varied and much drier, with an average annual rainfall of only 510 mm. The southern part of the park is dominated by flat grass and bush savannas, which gradually transition into semi-deserts as one moves northeast from Voi, corresponding with decreasing rainfall. Unlike Tsavo West, the picturesque mountains are located outside the western park boundaries. The only contrast to this monotony are the dense, refreshingly green gallery forests along the riverbanks of the Athi or Galana River, Tiva River, and Voi River. Yet, it is precisely this expansive, boundless landscape that gives the park its unique charm. [nggallery id=76]<\/p>\n<p>Tsavo East is divided into three regions by the eastward-flowing Tiva and Galana Rivers. North of the Galana River, the park is an inaccessible wilderness. This area is closed to tourism.<\/p>\n<p>South of the Galana River, Tsavo East is well-developed and home to most of its attractions. North of the Voi Safari Lodge lies Mudanda Rock. This nearly 2 km long, approximately 20 meters high, and 50 meters wide inselberg rises unexpectedly from the plain and can be climbed from the west via a footpath. [nggallery id=100]<\/p>\n<p>Following the course of the Voi River (even when it is dry), the green vegetation along its banks and the numerous waterholes in the riverbed attract wildlife from the vast, parched surroundings. During the dry season, there is no better place for observing birds, monkeys, elephants, antelopes, gazelles, lions, and leopards.<\/p>\n<p>The Aruba Dam creates a small lake of up to 85 hectares by damming the Voi River, attracting thirsty animals from the Taru Desert.<\/p>\n<p>Galdessa Camp Satao Camp Sentrim Tarhi Camp<\/p>\n<p>Ndololo Camp<\/p>\n<p>Ashnil Aruba Lodge<\/p>\n<p>Voi Safari Lodge<\/p>\n<p>We are currently preparing short videos for all destinations.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to answer any questions you may have about your African journey!<br \/>\n[nggallery id=24]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[nggallery id=24] Tsavo East National Park, at 11,747 square kilometers, is significantly larger than its western counterpart.
