Bufallo Springs National Reserve Buffalo Springs National Reserve is separated from the Samburu National Reserve by the Ewaso Ngiro river; less hilly and less dense than its Samburu, it is equally as attractive. Buffalo Springs National Reserve takes its name from an oasis of limpid crystal clear water at the western end of the sanctuary. In addition to the wildlife found in Samburu National Reserve, the common zebra is also an attraction often marching with its cousin, the Grevy Zebra, although they do not interbreed. An unexplained phenomenon is why the common zebra is not found on the north side of the river. Birdlife, too, is prolific with the Somali ostrich dominating the plains. Larger than its southern relative the Maasai ostrich it is more easily distinguished by its indigo legs and neck. Next in size is the Kori Bustard who stands a meter high. His behavior is unpredictable, at times running or crouching at the first sign of danger and at others completely fearless of humans. The male has a remarkable display inflating his neck and neck feathers until the head seems to disappear then raising his tail until it lies along his back.
