This means plenty of water, trees and shade to attract wildlife like elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra from the surrounding savannah plains.
Leopards are also regularly spotted.The reserve is not particularly well-known and is therefore not too crowded - a huge plus in Kenya where so many reserves are often overflowing with tourists.
It is often grouped together with the Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves as they lie so close together.Rugged and remote, with the same faunal structure, these wildlife reserves, with a total area of 428sq. km, lie just within the fascinating semi- desert Norhern Frontier District of Kenya.
The tranquil Uaso Nyiro River, flowing through Shaba and Samburu, attract a wide number of rare wildlife and provides a natural habitat for crocodile. Long necked gerenuk, Grevy`s zebra and reticulated giraffe are species not found in the less arid areas to the south.
