Kanderi Swamp
A permanent wetland close to Voi Gate, frequented by elephants, buffalo and lions. It's the first stop after entering the park.
Kanderi Swamp lies about 10 km east of Voi Gate and is fed by the Voi River. It is one of the few permanent oases in eastern Tsavo. Animal density here is high. You can often see elephants wallowing in mud, buffalo, waterbuck, and prides of lions waiting for prey. Because it is so close to Voi town, it suits visitors with limited time who want a half-day game drive, or it can serve as a stop on the way to Aruba Dam.
