SHABA NATIONAL RESERVE

1) SUMMARY

Shaba National Reserve is located north of Nairobi; Shaba's bush and grass vegetation makes Mount Kenya visible on the right side of the vast stretches of savannah land. Shaba took its name from the Mount Shaba (1525 meters), a volcanic mountain that became extinct around 5,000 years ago. Mount Shaba lies on the border of the reserve. Shaba National Reserve, adjacent to Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserve, is 97 square miles in size, and can be entered through gates Natorbe, Chanler's falls and Shaba.

The Shaba National Reserve is very peaceful, and attracts animals because of River Uaaso Nyiro (meaning brown water - pronounced U-aa-so-Nyee-ro) that runs through it, and the mixture of acacia, riverine forest, thorn trees and grass vegetation. The Uaaso Nyiro flows from the Kenyan highlands, and completes down stream at the famous Lorian Swamp. The natural serenity that is evident here is because of its distance from development, industries and inaccessibility for many years. Animals commonly seen are elephants, lions, cheetahs, grevy's zebras, giraffes, gerenuks, buffalos, oryx, grants gazelles, dikdiks and waterbucks. The river forest attracts a wide variety of birds. Unfortunately, all the rhino population was eliminated here because of heavy poaching.
