The Samburu National Reserve is a game reserve situated on the banks of the Kenyan Ewaso Ng’iro River. At an impressive size of 64 square miles, the reserve is known for being named after the Samburu people of Kenya as well as holding a robust number of rare wildlife and having an extremely vibrant ecosystem.

The reserve is especially famous for being the setting of Elsa the lioness, made famous in the award-winning movie Born Free. It is also known for containing such wildlife rarities as the long-necked gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, and beisa oryx.

This is rated as one of the best national parks in Kenya. The national reserve is found in the northern part of Mt. Kenya.
