Snaking through the arid lands of Northern Kenya, the Ewaso Nyiro River is the lifeblood of the region, drawing great numbers of wildlife to its banks and creating a green oasis in an otherwise parched landscape.
 
Samburu National Reserve and Buffalo Springs National Reserve are two parts of the same ecosystem, one on either bank of the Ewaso Nyiro River. In this arid region, species found nowhere else in Kenya thrive – Gerenuks, Somali Ostriches, Beisa Oryx, Grevy’s Zebra and Reticulated Giraffe. The landscape also provides excellent cover for predators, such as lions and leopards, and the river draws in large herds of elephant as well.
