Nairobi - Meru
Fly to Meru and begin with an afternoon game drive.
45 minutes flight from Nairobi to Meru
Fly from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to Meru National Park, the beautiful and undervisited gem of Kenya's northern circuit and the park made famous by Joy Adamson's Born Free. The flight gives aerial views of Mount Kenya's glaciated peaks and the dramatic transition from the central highlands to the Meru plains. Land at the park airstrip and meet your guide for an immediate afternoon game drive.
First game drive in Meru National Park, a park of extraordinary beauty and remarkable wildlife diversity. The braided river channels, doum palm corridors, and open plains of Meru offer a completely different experience from the other Kenya parks. The Elsa's Kopje lodge, set on a rocky kopje with panoramic views across the park, is one of Kenya's most atmospheric safari lodges. Meru's rhino sanctuary is one of Kenya's most successful breeding programmes.
Your first Meru evening from Elsa's Kopje, named for Elsa the lioness whose story brought Meru to the world's attention through Joy Adamson's writing. The park's remarkable beauty, its wildness, and the intimacy of its wildlife encounters make Meru a deeply special destination in the Kenya safari circuit.
