Mission
Tsavo Trust believes in conserving the vast wilderness of the Tsavo Conservation Area, that encompasses Kenya’s biggest protected area, is home to Kenya’s largest elephant population, several iconic ‘Tuskers’, Numerous high value species and one of the few truly wild places with significant wildlife left in Africa.
