Mudanda Rock is evidence of nature's fascinating creations . It is a massive rock crop up, almost half a mile if not a mile long.

The Mudanda Rock is part of the spectacular Ngulia range in Tsavo west. A simple sign reads "Mudanda Rock means strips of drying meat." The long outcrop of stratified rock is a water catchment area supplying a dam at its base - a congregation point, during dry seasons, for hundreds of Elephant, Buffalo and other game which can be viewed a vantage point halfway up the rock. The rock is famous for its photo opportunities as it offers unique endless panoramic views across Tsavo East and Tsavo National Parks on the eastern side. On the western side, you can climb to the top through a footpath and a carved stone stair.

Among Kenya's oldest rocks, Mudanda Rock dates back to 250 to 300 million years ago. Then about 100 million years ago, Kenya was under the sea. About 500 million years ago, Africa collided with another continent and the rocks of central and eastern Kenya were faulted and heated up deep underground before being raised up to form mountain chains.

Mudanda Rock was used by the adjacent community to prepare 'billongs' (thin cut strips of meat that are dried under the sun) hence the name 'Mudanda'.
