The Arawale National Reserve is a designated conservation area managed by the Garissa County in assistance with the Kenya Wildlife Service.

It lies in North Eastern Province of Kenya, 77 km south of the town of Garissa.

In 1974, the reserve was gazetted as the only in-situ conservation site for the critically endangered Hirola population endemic to north-eastern Kenya and south-west Somalia.

A study commissioned by Terra Nuova in 2006 also showed signs of presence of the African bush elephant.
