The Conservancy is approximately forty-three kilometers from Garissa town and lies seven kilometers from River Tana. The conservancy borders Garissa Township Constituency to the North, Bura East sub-county Westward and Jarajila sub-county of larger fafi Constituency to the South.

Wildlife Species found within the Conservancy include Giraffe, Gerenuk, lesser Kudu, two critically endangered species namely the Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus), and Grevy Zebra (Equus grevyi), Crocodiles, several species of birds most of which have not been documented, buffalos, antelopes, and Ostrich. There are also two historical heritage sites, six picnic sites, and River views of Hinta, Namorma, Warable, and Bardoy River Beaches, and public water corridors for both human and wildlife water points. Several acacia species and doum palms are scattered around the conservation area enhancing its rugged beauty.
