Nasalot National Reserve
Nasalot National Reserve is relatively small, covering an area of only 92 sq. km. It is mainly plains broken up by the impressive Sekess Hills, a continuation of the Cherangani ridges. To the north it is bordered by a section of the Turkwel River and the Wei Wei River bounds it to the east.
It has an important eco-system with river valleys and floodplains which support evergreen forests dominated by fig and acacia trees and many types of papyrus and sedges.
Game to view includes: elephant, hippo, giraffe, impala, Grant and Thompson's gazelle, plains zebra, eland, Lesser Kudu, bushbuck, duiker and dik dik and their predators - lion, leopard, spotted hyena and jackal. There are Olive Baboon and Vervet Monkeys and crocodiles are found in the rivers. There are more than 150 species of birdlife. There is a murram airstrip at the Turkwel hydro-electric dam and two campsites.
