Kenya's black rhinos at Tsavo West get 30 times more room to roam

Kenya's Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary now spans about 3,200 square kilometres — roughly 30 times the space its black rhinos had in the old, overcrowded Ngulia sanctuary — after the final fence came down in September 2026. Around 200 black rhinos live in the wider Tsavo landscape, and nearly 70% have been ear-notched so rangers can identify and protect individuals. More than 14 landholders in central Kenya have also signed agreements to link their land into future rhino habitat.
