It is not possible to talk about the Shaba National Reserve with no mentioning Samburu National Reserve, and Buffalo Springs National Reserve, since they are all intertwined, and they type a trio of uncommon and desirable game sanctuaries, and all neighbours.

Guests go to Parks to see wildlife, and the Shaba Game is outstanding. You have a very good opportunity of seeing Giraffe, Cheetah, leopard, and lion. You can add to this gazelle, oryx, zebra, and Gerenuk, but of course it is the predators that are most sought after.

Shaba Reserve is named right after a enormous cone of volcanic rock which dominates the whole region.

The Ewaso Ngiro River is the northern border of the park, and as the progress of the river is slow and wide as the river bends and straightens there is good viewing of the wildlife here, and there is a lot more water than the neighbouring reserves

It would be fair to say that visitors to Shaba dont just come for the wildlife, this place in a actual experience from the troubles of access, only possible by means of Archers Post, and the close to impossibility of the tracks in the wet season. Shaba is a total escape from 21st century life.

In addition to the previously talked about wildlife species, you will have a opportunity of seeing the following at 1 of the seventeen springs where the animals congregate for the duration of the dry season.

Reticulated giraffe, Somalia ostrich, Baboon, Olive, Buffalo, African Bush Baby, Bushbuck, Caracal, Dik-dik, Kirk's Duiker, Bush, Eland, Elephant, Grant's Giraffe, Reticulated Klipspringer, Mongoose, Monkey, Beisa, Warthog, Waterbuck

It was at Shaba that Joy Adamson the author was murdered almost thirty years ago, and for that purpose alone a pilgrimage to Joy Adamsons monument is a must do on any Kenya Safari Holiday to Shaba.
