area for game preservation in the south of Kenya. Their eight thousand
square miles are divided into east and west by the Mombasa to Nairobi
road and the railway. Tsavo was previously famous for its vast elephant
herds. Drought and poachers caused a substantial drop in elephant
numbers in seventies and eighties. However, effective anti-poaching
patrols have resulted to a stable increase in the the population. Other
animals expected to be seen in Tsavo include cheetah, buffalo, gerenuk,
klipspringer, lesser kudu and oryx, baboon, crocodile, buffalo,
gazelle, zebra and lion. Tsavo also offers a rhino sanctuary. Afternoon
