Meru National Park

Meru National Park Overview

Meru National Park, located in central Kenya, is an unspoiled safari destination known for its lush landscapes, numerous rivers, and abundant wildlife. The park gained fame through Joy Adamson’s book Born Free, which told the story of Elsa the lioness.

The best time to visit is during the dry seasons from June to October and January to March, when animals gather around the park’s rivers and watering holes.

Luxury accommodation options include Elsa’s Kopje Lodge, a stunning eco-lodge perched on a hill, while budget travelers can opt for self-catering bandas and campsites.

Activities in Meru include game drives, nature walks, and river fishing. Wildlife highlights include elephants, lions, leopards, and the rare lesser kudu. The park’s remote location ensures fewer crowds, making it an excellent choice for travelers seeking a more secluded safari experience.
