These are three adjoining reserves that lie 325km from Nairobi in the hot and fringes of the vast northern region of Kenya. The reserves are within the lands of the colorful Samburu tribe, relatives of the famed Masai.
The parks are home to wildlife species rarely found elsewhere, including Gravy’s Zebra, gerenuk gazelle, Oryx, reticulated giraffe and the Somali ostrich. Some of this species are so well adapted to dry area that they can go for long periods of time without water, surviving only on moisture obtained through their food.
Shaba National Reserve is home to Joy Adamson’s monument and was the area she and George Adamson chose for their famous lion project. The terrain is characterized by scrub deserts, thorn bush, reverine, forests and swamps.

Masai Mara is world famous Game Park and Kenya's most visited reserves. It is home to a breath taking variety of game and scenery. Here the herds of elephants browse among rich, tree-studded grasslands.
Apart from the "Big Five" the Masai Mara is most famous for the annual spectacle of the wildebeest migration, where millions of wildebeest Zebra and gazelle leave the plains of the Serengeti and cross the Mara river in search of fresh grazing.
Their dramatic arrival is accompanied by much activity from predators including lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, crocodile and vultures. Best time to visit: The seasonal migration takes place in July and August but game viewing is excellent all year round.
