Meru National Park is a wild and less-visited gem located in eastern Kenya. Known for its rugged beauty and rich history, it's where the famous lioness Elsa from Born Free was released. The park features rivers, forests, open grasslands, and swamps, providing a habitat for lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, and over 300 bird species. Its remoteness makes it ideal for those seeking a quieter safari experience. The Tana River and other water sources attract wildlife all year round. Meru also has rhino sanctuaries and excellent game viewing with fewer crowds. If you’re looking for a wild and authentic adventure, Meru National Park delivers.
