Meru National Park

Born Free country — rhinos, rivers, and the legacy of Elsa

Meru National Park is the spiritual home of Born Free — the story of Elsa the lioness. A lush, green wilderness of 13 rivers, swamps, and rolling hills, Meru shelters a thriving rhino sanctuary, abundant Big Five, and some of the most unspoiled scenery in Kenya.

Best time to visit June to October and January to March for dry conditions and easier wildlife spotting along the rivers.

Typical duration 3 to 4 days

Starting from $520 USD per person
