Bisanadi National Reserve
Sister to Meru National Park
The Bisanadi National Reserve forms a hilly frontier of life and adventure north of Meru National Park. This broad, consolidated expanse of dry bushland extends a diversified and exciting wildlife, from ever-present lions to elephants, cheetahs, rhinos, and buffalos. Its resident and visitor bird enthusiasts are equally fascinated by the diversity in avifauna, boasting over 400 unique species of birds that dot its skies and landscapes.
It’s a nature lover’s dream, where one can get as natural a safari experience as possible sans all the fussy crowds. The Rivers Tana and Rojewero cut through the reserve, bringing in an almost refreshing contrast with the dust-smothered bush. These create boating and fishing activities, enabling visitors to be at ease in this virgin paradise.
Bisanadi National Reserve also offers a unique chance to experience the magic of the African wilderness under the stars. With very minimal artificial light pollution, the night skies here are breathtakingly beautiful, thus making camping outdoors an unforgettable adventure. Be it for a fauna lover, an adventure-seeker, or one looking for solace in nature, Bisanadi offers a mix of thrill and tranquility.
A visit to Bisanadi National Reserve is not just a journey into the wildlife sanctuary, but a step into the heart of a world where raw natural beauty takes center stage. Combine this with a visit to its sister park, Meru National Park, for a proper regional exploration of the varied ecosystems and landscapes.
