These are three parks that are managed independently but the animals make them inseparable as they roam freely in all the parks making it one ecosystem. They are situated about 350 km north of Nairobi. The parks have got different and unique types of animal species which are not found anywhere else in Kenya.
This is because the park is found in a semi arid area making it hard for all the animals to survive there. As the saying goes that every desert has its own oasis, the border between the buffalo springs and the Samburu reserve is the Ewaso Nyiro River which is the main water source for the parks. The park are the home of the rare grevy zebras, the Somali ostrich, the beisa oryx , the gerenuk also known as gazelle giraffe and the majestic reticulated giraffes.
It is also home to the big five apart from the rhinoceros .The park is also known to be a park where nature defies itself as some lionesses are known to adopt the baby oryx for some weeks and protecting them from other predators.
