More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn breaks over a wide African plain and the jeep eases onto a track that seems to belong to wildlife more than machines. In Tsavo East the land opens—acacia scrub, red-earth tracks and watering holes where elephants test the morning and birds quarrel over the last ripples. By afternoon the ride climbs into the greener, sculpted ridges of Taita Hills, where cliffs and valleys create a compact theater for big-game encounters.
