Shaba National Reserve

Shaba, with its great rocky kopjes (isolated hills), natural springs and doum palms, is more physically beautiful than the nearby national reserves of Samburu and Buffalo Springs. It is also much less visited, so you'll almost have it to yourself – but it also often has less visible wildlife.
