You know the movies you see of the endless herds of wildebeest and zebra? These parks are where the wilderness photographers come to take them. | Wikipedia | Map | ||
| Tsavo National Park, named for the Tsavo river. Another fantastic wildlife park. This has an East and a West Section. If you saw the movie "The Ghost and The Darkness", it was inspired by two famous man-eating lions who terrorized the crews building the Kenya-Uganda railroad in 1898. | Wikipedia | Map | ||
