Buffalo springs national reserve is one of the warm parks in Kenya situated in Isiolo county. This park is a good holiday destination for those who would like to enjoy the solar warmth. It is a home to many wildlife animals being elephants, giraffes, various antelopes, hippopotamus, crocodiles, lions and other cats. Birds such as ostriches, Voulturine and guenea fowl , weaver birds among many others. Recently this park hit NES worldwide due to an elephant that gave birth to twin calves (see photos). The buffalo springs national reserve is also home to several hotels and lodges among them is my favourite Ashnil camp that has unique tents (guest rooms) and situation along the ewasonyiro river. There are several springs that originate from this park and are tributaries to the great ewasonyiro river. The park has a well maintained airstrip for those who would like to fly to this superior tourist destination. Enjoy your visit and stay in buffalo springs...

I think I based my review on my stay at Sarova Shaba Lodge and not on individual places I visited. Buffalo Springs Reserve is one of the lush sides of the 3 reserves in Samburu and has more animals to offer as well. An early morning game drive here offered a scenic view of Mt. Kenya all the way in Nanyuki, a picturesque sunrise photos, more wild including reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, somali ostrich, and 2 more that make the Samburu Special 5 which we were able to spot. (I need to reference my IG post on the Special 5) Quite large heards of gazelles and antelopes, a few elephants and the mighty Buffalo Springs natural swimming pool that was as a result of the Italians bombing the British for the quest of colonies in East Africa. As a result, it left the swimming pool which we had no prior knowledge of but otherwise carry a swimming costume for an early...

Thrice I've visited Buffalo Springs and thrice I've had a very satisfying experience. This last time was great, as I decided to spend two nights in the park just enjoying being one with nature. Several of the Big 5 are present, as are other animals and birds unique to the region. There is a natural swimming pool in the eponymous springs with healing properties. The guides and rangers at the park are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. One also gains access to nearby Shaba National Reserve where there are animals, birds and other numerous sites such as waterfalls, the Joy Adamson monument and spots where hollywood movies were shot and series such as Survivor Africa. There is also lots of history there for those interested. The landscape is...

Very calm and quiet. We literally did not have to go for a game drive. We arrived a tad late in the evening, escorted by a ranger from the Gate to the hotel (Samburu Simba Lodge) and got stuck in the mud. (Who goes to such a place with a Mercedes E300?) Anyway, as we were waiting for help, an Elephant passed by and just before the hotel gate, a Lion was minding it's own business right there staring at us.
