Tana River Primate National Reserve is a small reserve, created in 1976, as its name suggests protecting a small number of primates, which have no other location in Kenya. There are two species, the Red Colobus and the Crested Mangabey. These species occur in the rain forests of western Uganda and in Zaire and are indicative of the time, centuries ago, when these great forests covered the whole of Africa - west to east.
Tana River Primate National Reserve is a mixture of savannah and riverine forest often exquisitely beautiful. Both the common and Grevy's zebra are found, as are the Maasai and Reticulated giraffe. Oryx, buffalo and lesser kudu are by no means rare. The river accommodates plenty of crocodile and hippo and water birds are spectacular.
