What is what does tsavo mean?

Tsavo is a word that comes from the indigenous language of the Tsavo region in Kenya. It is most commonly known for the Tsavo National Park, known for its wildlife and beautiful landscapes. The word "Tsavo" has been suggested to mean "slaughter" or "place of slaughter" due to the area's history of conflict between colonial settlers and the indigenous people. However, others argue that it actually derives from the word "sabaki," which means "River of Tsavo" and is the name of the river that runs through the national park.
