- The Park
Meru lies to the east of Mount Kenya and is famous as the place where Elsa, the lioness of Joy Adamson's book 'Born Free', was returned to the wilds. Of all of Kenya's parks, Meru presents the widest variety of landscapes and habitat. Forest, swamp and savannah are pierced by fifteen perennial rivers all rising from the Mount Kenya massif and destined to reach the Tana River which forms the park's lower boundary. Meru's proximity to Mount Kenya and the Nyambene Hills ensures a good rainfall and the Park is therefore lush and verdant for most of the year. In addition to the many species of animals, including the 'big five' found in this park, Meru is alive with an enormous variety of colourful birds. Part of Meru's charm is that this park has never enjoyed the popularity of many of the other parks and reserves. Unused to the hordes of vehicles found elsewhere, game can be elusive and timid but the beauty and diversity of the landscape and birdlife ensures that the quality of the experience exceeds the quantity of the wildlife.
