Great places- Bisanadi National Reserve

Bisanadi National Reserve is located in the Isiolo County belonging to the Eastern province. Designated in 1979 with an extension of 606 km², it serves as a wildlife dispersal area for the adjacent Meru National Park which lies to the west upstream Tana river. 

Bisanadi is a stretch of thornbush and arid savannah which gives way to swamps and palm tree forests at the banks of the river Tana and other minor streams.This land strip was set under protection with the double purpose of allowing better mobility for the Meru animals and keeping the park safe from human encroachment, since Meru was for many years a poachers' realm.It is part of the Mwingi, Meru, Kora, and Bisanadi conservation area The border between Meru and Bisanadi follows the traditional frontier between the Meru and Boran tribes.

Bisanadi is devoid of roads and tracks, therefore travelling through the reserve is difficult. It is only accessible in a 4WD vehicle from the neighbouring Meru National Park Murera Gate or from the Tana river, at the reserve's south border.
