Marsabit, Marsabit National Park and Marsabit National Reserve all are located on the Marsabit Mountain which has risen from the desert floor. Marsabit National Park is the most remote and seldom visited National Park in Kenya.
Though the lower lands are dry and arid, the Marsabit National Park offers you lush greeneries with marshlands, crater lakes, soaring cliffs, colossal trees an amazing diversity of wildlife. Marsabit National Park is that unspoiled corner of nature in Kenya where animals and birds who have their homes at Lake Paradise, a beautiful crater lake, play along the growths of podocarpus and juniper. Different species of raptors have their home in the bushy cliffs and atop huge trees along Lake Paradise and also around Sokote Guda, an arena surrounded with cliffs and forming a natural ground where the elephants, accompanied by the buffalos lead processions for drinking water from Lake Paradise in the multihued twilight.
Marsabit National Park was home to Ahmed for about 63 long years, head of the wildlife families who was given security against the hunters by a presidential declaration. Other animal species abiding in the Marsabit National Park are timid Greater Kudus, other antelopes, lions, leopards, rhino, wart dogs, giraffe, hyena and cheetah. The rarest of birds in Africa have also their abodes in the Marsabit National Park. It is best to fly to Marsabit as the road along Isiolo is perilous and frequently met by bandit attacks.
