    The park is only open for 1 hour a day to minimalize interaction between the elephants and humans. As they are still so young they have to be fed every 3 hours. A warder sleeps with them every night, but so they do not become attached, they have a different warder every night! After about 3 years they are taken to Tsavo East and walked daily with herders until they find an adoptive family.
    They also had Rhinos but we could not see them as they were too young.

    Whilst there are animals wanting to be fed in the distance there are other Giraffes that are just eating in the woods. They come for food.
    As part of the reasonable entry fee they give you 1/2 a coconut with pellets that you place on the Giraffe's tongue. There is a ramp that least up to the feeding area so the big Giraffes bend down and the little ones stretch up!
    They are so gentle but there are signs saying they can butt. Warthogs and other animals just roam around!

    What a place I'd say this place is not forgetting it's the only National Park in the heart of Nairobi City and also the only park inside a city with a Safari drive

    We had an amazing experience in tsavo.
    This is the largest national park in kenya located in the middle of nairobi and mombasa.Its a home of the red elephants.
    We saw all the big five except the leopard.
    The roads are wider,not crowded like the maasai mara.
    We had great day with pandu and fred +254710239929.
    We must come back again.

    A very surprising visit and you will learn the life of someone who has done so much for Kenya and after who so many places today are named. Wonderful surroundings to relax too.
