Mwea National Reserve Description
The Tana River is the southern boundary of the Mwea National Reserve with the Thiba River to the east. Hippo Point is the perfect spot at night to view the wildlife as they wander to the water's edge. Visitors can camp within the reserve or have picnics at Hippo Point or Gichuki Island.

About 150 different bird species have been recorded in the Mwea National Reserve. Elephants, hippos, buffalo and lesser kudus are frequently seen. An electric fence keeps the animals from invading Makima settlement to the north.

Another main feature of the Mwea National Reserve is the Masinga and Kaburu hydroelectric dams.
