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...

As a result, it left the swimming pool which we had no prior knowledge of but otherwise carry a swimming costume for an early...

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.

There is also lots of history there for those interested. The landscape is...
