The Northern region of Kenya is vast and scenic. It is the home of a variety of tribes, and has remained comparatively inaccessible until now. Ranging from the lush highland green of the southern side of the Mathews range and Samburu National Park to the red sands of the northern borders with Ethiopia in the Chalbi desert.
Marsabit National Park
A remote montane paradise located in Kenya’s rugged northern frontier, Marsabit National Park envelops the massive extinct volcano known as Mount Marsabit. Though born of volcanic fire, Mt Marsabit is a cool, green and forested realm, often swathed in mist. Rising like a mirage above the surrounding burning desert, Mount Marsabit is famous for the dreamy blue waters of Lake Paradise which lies at its peak.
Samburu, Buffalo Springs & Shaba National Reserves
Samburu National Reserve is situated at the southeastern corner of Samburu District in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. It is bordered to the south by Ewaso Nyiro River, which separates it from the Buffalo Springs National Reserve. The reserves are rich in a wide array of wildlife species including the special 5: the Grevy Zebra, Somali Ostrich, Reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk and the Beisa Oryx.
Sibiloi National Park
Located on the wild and rugged shores of Lake Turkana – the cradle of mankind – Sibiloi is home to important archaeological sites including Koobi Fora where the fossil remains have contributed more to the understanding of human evolution than any other site in the continent. Terrestrial wildlife species include zebras, Grant gazelles, lions, leopards, stripped hyenas, Beisa Oryx, greater kudu, cheetahs and northern topi among others.
