Samburu NationalReserve

Adjacent to Samburu National Reserve, Buffalo Springs is fed by crystal-clear springs that create a green oasis in the semi-arid north. The reserve shares Samburu's unique species but offers a different landscape character.

The most scenic of the three northern reserves, Shaba features dramatic volcanic landscapes, natural hot springs, and the Ewaso Ng'iro River flowing through rocky gorges. It was the setting for the 'Born Free' sequel and Joy Adamson's later conservation work.
