Situated alongside the Ewaso Nyiro River, there is plenty to attract wildlife from the surrounding savannah plains. The reserve is rich in wildlife with an abundance of rare Northern specialist species (also referred to as Samburu Special Five) such as the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and the Beisa oryx.
