CLEAVING THE TWO RESERVES, THE UASO NYIRO RIVER *BROWN RIVER IN THE LOCAL LANGUAGE* WINDS THROUGH A MATURE STANDS OF NEWTONIA AND SYCAMORE FIG TREES, ACACIA AND DOUM PALMS, ONE OF THE FEW BRANCHING PALMS TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

BIRD LIFE ABOUNDS, A SEEMING ANOMALY GIVEN THE HARSH CLIMATE, BUT THEN NATURE IN THE WILD IS ALWAYS FULL OF DELIGHTFUL SURPRISES.
