Arawale
National Reserve; Arawale National Reserve
cover an area of 533 kilometers squared or 206 square
miles and is situated on the northern shore of the Tana
River, 40 kilometers /25 miles upstream from Tana River
Primate National Reserve in Eastern Kenya. It lies in
Garrissa District of the North Eastern Province of Kenya
close to the Somalia border.
Arawale
National Reserve was
established to protect the rare Hunter’s hartebeest
(an antelope that is, despite its name, closer related
to Topi than to hartebeest), also known as Hirola. The
Hunter’s hartebeest (Damaliscus hunteri) is the
world's most endangered antelope.
The
alarming decline, which makes it a very sad story indeed,
has been attributed to poaching, drought, disease and
human and livestock pressures. Arawale National Reserve
is also home to many other wildlife species including
Topi, Zebras, Elephants, Lesser Kudus, African Buffalos,
Hippos and Crocodiles. The bird life is rich and varied.
Arawale National Reserve landscape is mostly a dry thorn-bush
savannah and the reserve has no accommodations - lodges
or tented camps.
The
nearest hotels are in Garissa, northward, and Garsen,
southward, but both towns are quite far away from Arawale,
so camping is the recommended option if one desires
to include it in a Kenya African Spice Safari Package.
Arawale National Reserve roads are close to non-existent,
so four-wheel drive is advisable.
