About Meru National Park

Meru National Park in eastern Kenya is a pristine, less-crowded safari destination made famous by Elsa the lioness from the book and film 'Born Free.' The park's range of habitats — lush grasslands, rivers, swamps and forests — creates a sanctuary for diverse wildlife. Expect to see elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards and rhinos, plus over 300 species of birds. Rivers such as the Tana and Rojewero offer scenic picnic spots. Meru provides a genuine safari experience away from major tourist flows, perfect for purists after solitude and adventure.
