On the eve of the New Year, together with my family, I departed to welcome the New Year in a relaxed and serene environment. Of course, I was biased towards my home county. I retreated to the magnificent Shaba Game Reserve for a two-day break.
The Sarova Shaba, situated in the middle of the park, provides an exotic and breathtaking scenery with some of the world's unique wild life such as the gravy zebra (exclusive to Isiolo), the gerenuk, a slender, tall-necked antelope which derives its name from the local Somali language - since the British conservationist could not find a suitable Latin name.
