Mudanda Rock
A giant slab of rock about 1.6 km long. From its top you can look down on herds of elephants drinking from the pools below.
Mudanda Rock is a flat granite slab in eastern Tsavo, about 1.6 km long. Rainwater collects at its base to form natural pools, and in the dry season elephant herds and buffalo come to drink. It has been likened to a 'mini Ayers Rock'. Visitors can get out of their vehicles and climb to the top along a marked route, though they should take care and stay within the designated area. It sits beside the main game drive route roughly 50 km north of Voi Gate and is often visited on the same day as Lugard Falls.
