South of the river is Buffalo Springs National Reserve. Samburu National Reserve was one of the two areas in which conservationists George and Joy Adamson raised Elsa the Lioness, made famous in the best-selling book and award-winning movie Born Free. The two major rainfall seasons typical to Kenya also loosely apply to Samburu, with the months from April to May and September to November seeing brief rainly spells accompanied by hours of sunshine. The Samburu people are nilotic, semi-nomadic shepherds who live in north-central Kenya.
