There are several national parks and reserves in the East African Rift Valley. The unique relief of this area is formed due to the constant movement of the earth's crust. A combination of a unique landscape with an arid climate, numerous rivers and lakes formed an unusually bright and developed African ecosystem. Samburu National Park is also located in the rift zone, in the northern region of Kenya, and is divided into 3 parts: Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba. They are united by an atmosphere of tranquility and tranquility, since travelers here rarely happen. Their fauna is similar, but the flora is very different in each of them. Samburu is separated from the Buffalo Springs by the river Uaso Ngiro. It - the source of life of rare species of trees, animals and representatives of the ichthyofauna, and also saves savanna from a severe drought. Here are the habitats of antelope bays, net giraffes and desert zebras. However, in this park there are no more rhinos because of their mass extermination by poachers. The landscape of Buffalo Springs is a classic African savannah with poor vegetation. Here, mainly acacia and thorny shrubs grow, and dense vegetation is only along the river. In this park there are antleropes-oryxes, buffaloes, hyenas, elephants, zebras and giraffes, but to see a leopard is a rarity. In the river there are crocodiles and a large number of hippos. About 365 species of birds live on the territory of the reserve. Shaba is a part of the natural complex of Samburu, and although its landscapes are the most picturesque - it is visited by little travelers. Mount Shaba Hill rises above the dry savanna and forests near the river. Fauna is similar to the rest of the park, and the flora is diverse due to the presence of small ponds and wetlands.
