Meru
is a quiet park of rivers and open plains
Welcome to Meru
Born Free Country
Meru National Park, east of Mount Kenya, is one of Kenya’s less visited parks. Rivers run through open grassland and palm groves, with elephants, buffalo, giraffe, lions and a protected rhino sanctuary. It is also where Joy and George Adamson raised Elsa the lioness, made famous by Born Free.
We can include Meru in a Mount Kenya and Laikipia safari circuit.

Things to do in Meru
Look for rhinos in the park’s protected sanctuary. Then visit the area where Joy and George Adamson raised Elsa the lioness. You can also see elephants, lions and reticulated giraffes along the park’s rivers.
Best time to visit
June to September and January to February are the driest months. As a result, wildlife is easier to find near the rivers.
How to get there
Meru National Park is about six hours from Nairobi by road. Flights also land at the park’s airstrips.
