About Meru National Park
Meru National Park lies east of Mount Kenya: a wild, lightly visited park of rivers, doum palms and long grass where Joy and George Adamson raised Elsa the lioness, the story told in Born Free. It has a rhino sanctuary, good numbers of elephant, buffalo and lion, and northern species such as reticulated giraffe and Grevy's zebra. So few vehicles come here that game viewing feels private. Meru features on our 7-day Kenya air safaris, paired with Amboseli or Samburu and the Masai Mara.
