Shaba Game Reserve

Neighbouring the beautiful Samburu National Park in Kenya, Shaba National Reserve features the extinct volcano of Mount Shaba rising up from the plains. The reserve also served as one of the homes of the famous lioness from the 'Born Free' novel. This arid area is fed by the waters of the Ewaso Ngiro River which sustain a variety of wildlife species including the gerenuk, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, and Grevy's zebras. The landscape features a unique combination of riverine forests and volcanic rocky outcrops. Visitors can enjoy excellent game viewing, fascinating Samburu village tours, and visit the Joy Adamson Museum.
