Tsavo National Park & Applied AI Lab: Deep Learning for Computer Vision

Tsavo National Park is one of Kenya's largest and most iconic wildlife reserves, home to elephants, lions, giraffes, and diverse savanna ecosystems. Connecting this natural laboratory with the Applied AI Lab: Deep Learning for Computer Vision highlights how modern AI can support wildlife monitoring, anti-poaching, and ecological research.

Tsavo National Park – Wildlife and Landscape

The first video below offers a visual journey through Tsavo National Park, capturing its landscapes, wildlife, and atmosphere. Such footage can be used as raw data for computer vision pipelines, where models detect and classify animals, track their movement, and help conservation teams make data-driven decisions.

Tsavo National Park – Extended Views

The second video continues the visual story of Tsavo, offering additional scenes that are ideal for building richer datasets for object detection and image classification. In the context of the Applied AI Lab: Deep Learning for Computer Vision, similar video streams can be processed with convolutional neural networks and transformers to automate species identification and activity recognition.

Applied AI Lab: Deep Learning for Computer Vision

The Applied AI Lab: Deep Learning for Computer Vision focuses on practical projects such as wildlife classification from camera trap images, crop disease detection, and traffic analysis using object detection models. By associating Tsavo National Park with this lab, the videos above can serve as inspiration for building end-to-end pipelines: collecting images, labeling wildlife, training CNNs and transformer-based models, and deploying tools that support conservation in Kenyan parks and beyond.

This post integrates Tsavo’s natural beauty with cutting-edge deep learning, encouraging students and practitioners to think about how computer vision can be applied to real conservation challenges in East Africa. Use these videos as starting points for experiments in image classification, object detection, and tracking within your own Applied AI Lab projects.
