MERU NATIONAL PARK

Meru, in the Northern Frontier district of Kenya, is untamed Africa at its most alluring. The animals are shy, unused to their human counterparts and the landscape is wild.

Accommodation is now available in Elsa's Kopje named after Elsa, the orphaned lioness reared by Joy and Goerge Adamson who eventually returned her to the wild in Meru.

This park is singled out as the driest in the country with little 
rainfall although it is, in fact, criss-crossed with numerous rivers and streams running off nearby mountains. The landscape is blessed with dense ribbons of vegetation with magnificent stands of Baobab 
trees, and doum and raphia palms running though dry valleys.
