Ecosystem

The scenery is an immolate of thorny bush and swift grassland. The dry riverine forest might seem useless but is invaluable to the creatures in the reserve. The lion, the king of the jungle tops the list. The buffalo springs reserve harbors remarkable species of birds. The demure guinea fowls, the helmeted and vulturine guinea fowls, the majestic sand grouse and the gentle doves will convey the unruffled air that is associated with the park. A herd of Grevy’s zebra and a band of elegant reticulated giraffes can be seen nibbling at the dew filled undergrowth early in the morning. Herds of elephants, black rhinos, Ground squirrels, Oryx, Somali ostriches, hippopotamus, crocodiles, gerenuks, buffaloes, lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas all live side by side each weary of their place in the food chain.
