Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to Elsa’s Kopje, an award-winning eco-lodge built around the very site where George and Joy Adamson released Elsa the lioness back into the wild. The lodge’s open-air design blends harmoniously with the natural rock formations, offering panoramic views of Meru’s vast landscapes. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive to spot elephants, lions, buffaloes, and the rare Grevy’s zebra or lesser kudu.
