Shaba National Reserve — Attraction in Isiolo

The experience was extra ordinary and that it hosts Sarova Shaba Lodge which we were staying at. Shaba Reserve makes one of the Samburu Reserves that parks Buffalo Springs and Samburu Reserve parks.

A remarkable spot on the map that should be a must in the itinerary of all nature lovers...
