The Yatta Plateau - the remnants of the world's longest flow of lava, about 290 Km in length and rising over 100m from its neighbouring lands. Yatta Plateau runs along the Western boundary of the Tsavo East National Park above the Athi River. It was formed by lava from Ol Donyo Sabuk Mountain situated about 70km northeast of Nairobi (Nairobi is about 420Km away from Tsavo East National Park). Beneath the Yatta Plateau flows the Athi River; this joins the Tsavo River to become the Galana River, a permanent stream that cuts right across the Park. The river is home to crocodiles, hippo and also attracts huge variety of thirsty wildlife including elephants and lions.
