Meru National Park
Overview:
Brilliant on a magnificent scale, the Meru National park features luxuriant jungle, coursing rivers, verdant swamp, khaki grasslands and gaunt termite cathedrals all under the sky’s great blue bowl. Little visited and utterly unspoilt, few places are comparable to the remote and rugged atmosphere found here. Visitors can see Grevy’s zebras, elephants, Bohor reedbucks, hartebeests, pythons, puff adders, cobras, buffalos and more than 427 recorded species of birds.
Meru National Park is the location where the famous George and Joy Adamson (author of ‘Born Free’) raised the lioness named Elsa.
