Tsavo National Park
Introduction Tsavo National Park is currently the largest national park in Kenya, covering an area of 21,000 square kilometers and consisting of two parts: Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Generally speaking, Tsavo West National Park, which spans only about 1,000 square kilometers, is more eye-catching. Its beautiful and pristine African wilderness scenery and diverse wildlife attract tens of thousands of visitors from around the world every year. Tsavo West National Park is located in a narrow strip between the Tsavo River and the Mombasa Highway. In the 1960s, it was home to the largest population of black rhinos in the world, numbering around 9,000. However, due to ecological imbalance, by the late 1980s, only about 100 remained. Today, the park has established rhino sanctuaries, and their numbers have gradually recovered. In addition, visitors can also see wildlife such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and antelopes.
