🦁 Overview
Tsavo is Kenya's largest national park, covering over 22,000 square kilometers — roughly the size of Wales. It's divided into two distinct sections: Tsavo East and Tsavo West, separated by the Nairobi-Mombasa highway and railway line. Together, they form one of the world's greatest wildlife sanctuaries — raw, vast, and untamed.
