Shaba National Park is not well-known making it less crowded as compared to most Kenyan reserves.

The presence of the river and its shady trees attracts plenty of wildlife, especially when dry seasons sets in, Giraffe, Buffaloes, Waterbucks, Zebras, Lions and Leopards are some of the dominant game to spot. The sparse vegetation around the park makes game viewing enjoyable, however a part of the Shaba National Park is swampy and along such is where you find the waterbucks and most wildlife.

For birding safaris, the National park records around 365 species of birds, most of these birds concentrate along the river banks. Some exiting scene to watch can be of the rare gerenuks, these are odd, yet distinguished looking gazelles that have long necks and stand on their hinds to feed.
