If you’re taking the road that runs east across the park to the Kimana Gate, watch for giraffes in the acacia woodlands; this is the best place inside the park for giraffe-spotting. Here you may also find gerenuks, an unusual breed of gazelle that ‘browse’ by standing on their hind legs and stretching their necks, as if yearning to be giraffes. There are numerous lodges and campsites just outside the gate, while the unpaved road continues on to Tsavo West National Park.
