Meru National Park Safari –

Untamed Wilderness & Elsa’s

Legacy

Meru National Park is one of Kenya’s most unspoiled safari destinations, known for its Big Five wildlife, rhino sanctuary, lush rivers, and as the home of Elsa the Lioness from Born Free. Ideal for exclusive safaris, it offers raw wilderness, fewer crowds, and rich biodiversity.

Nestled in Kenya’s remote north-eastern wilderness, a Meru National Park safari offers a rare and authentic African wildlife experience far from the crowds. Known as the setting for Born Free, the iconic story of Elsa the Lioness, Meru is rich in both natural beauty and conservation history. This park boasts 13 rivers, Doum palm groves, and diverse terrain ranging from open plains and swampy grasslands to thick acacia woodlands, making it ideal for spotting the Big Five — elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos. A key highlight is the Meru Rhino Sanctuary, home to over 40 black and white rhinos, making it one of the best places in Kenya for guaranteed rhino sightings. Game drives offer excellent chances to see rare species like Grevy’s zebra, lesser kudu, and gerenuk, while the park’s rivers attract crocodiles, hippos, and prolific birdlife.
