Samburu National park
Samburu National Park : Samburu, Shaba & Buffalo Springs are 3 Reserves bordering one another in the dry landscape of North Central Kenya. The wildlife congregates around the Ewaso Ngiro River which runs through the Reserves. Besides the wildlife (elephant, giraffe, leopard, zebra, blue-legged ostriches), a highlight of any visit is to meet the Samburu people a nomad paranilotic tribe closely related to a Maasai. Shaba is less visited of the three and also the largest while Samburu National reserve and Buffalo springs are similar in surface area. Samburu and Buffalo Springs are adjacent reserves, separated only by a river that can be easily crossed through a bridge some 3 km upstream Samburu Game Lodge. But it turns out that the river is also the border between two different counties, Samburu and Isiolo. Therefore, if you wish to enjoy the full ecosystem from both river margins, you have to pay double, so most visitors just remain at the side of the river where their lodge is located.
