PARKS AND RESERVES: BISANADI NATIONAL RESERVE
Meru national park is flanked to the south and the east by a group of reserves and parks that serve as a protective cushion. This land strip was set under protection with the double purpose of allowing better mobility for Meru wildlife and keeping the park safe from human encroachment. Bisanadi is one of these reserves, adjacent to Meru downstream Tana river. The border between Meru and Bisanadi marks the traditional limit between the Meru and Boran tribes.
The reserve was created in 1979 with an extension of 606 km² in the Eastern Province, in Isiolo district. Bisanadi is a stretch of thornbush and arid savannah which at the banks of the Tana river and other streams gives way to swamps and palm tree forests.
