From humble beginnings 40 years ago on a three-square-kilometre parcel of land holding just three rhinos, the Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary has grown into a globally recognised conservation treasure
Today, the sanctuary spans an impressive 3,200 square kilometres now the largest of its kind in the world
This vast expansion has transformed the ecosystem into a vital conservation hub and a safe haven for more than 200 rhinos
Officials say the development is also expected to boost tourism, attracting visitors eager to witness Kenya’s wildlife protection efforts
During the launch in Ngulia, Taita Taveta County, leaders hailed the sanctuary as a powerful national model for wildlife conservation
