Much of the reserve is desert landscape; dusty red plains broken by thorny scrub, with dramatic views of the table mountain Ol Olokwe on the horizon. Samburu is a true paradise for nature lovers and travelers seeking peace and quiet. There are three protected areas around the Ewaso Ngiro River that are part of the same ecosystem. To the west of the Ewaso Ngiro are the Samburu and Buffalo Springs reserves, and to the east is Shaba.
