Buffalo Springs National Reserve

Buffalo Springs National Reserve is a covered location within the Isiolo County in northern Kenya. There is a slim band of riverine forest along the Ewaso Ngiro which includes Tana River Poplar, Doum Palm and fantastic specimens of Acacia elatior. Vegetation consists of acacia tortilis woodland and massive stretches of bushland ruled with the aid of Commiphora. In some regions lava rock is uncovered, with scattered grass and shrubs. Other elements have alkaline grasslands with occasional springs and swamps. Here and there the "Desert Rose" is located inside the scrub, with bright purple blooms.

The Salvadora persica teeth-brush tree shrub affords food to elephants, and its twigs are used as toothbrushes by way of the nomadic Samburu people. Wildlife consist of Grant's zebra and the endangered Grevy's Zebra. Other species of mammal include reticulated giraffe, the African bush elephant, oryx, gerenuk, African buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena. Over 365 species of fowl were recorded inside the reserve. The river is domestic to hippopotamuses and crocodiles. Somali ostriches are sizeable within the countrywide reserve. It is greater than the Masai ostrich's and is exceptional for his or her indigo legs and neck.
