Meru National Park offers a wild, unspoiled safari experience with lush riverine landscapes, swamps, and woodlands. It’s famed as the home of Elsa the Lioness from Born Free. The park hosts elephants, lions, cheetahs, hippos, and abundant birdlife.
Meru lies 350 km northeast of Nairobi and can be accessed by road (5–6 hours) or by air (1 hour) to Kinna or Mulika Airstrip.
