Located in eastern Kenya, Meru National Park is one of the country's most pristine and less-explored wildlife destinations. Known for its varied landscapes, Meru offers a blend of savannah, riverine forests, wetlands, and swamps, providing an ideal habitat for a diverse range of animals. The park became famous for being the home of Elsa the lioness, whose story was made famous in the book and movie Born Free.
Meru is also known for its incredible biodiversity, housing the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), along with numerous other species such as giraffes, zebras, and rare birds. Visitors to Meru can enjoy the park's tranquillity, as it is often less crowded than more popular reserves, making it perfect for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path safari experience. Its beautiful landscapes, abundant wildlife, and rich history make Meru National Park a hidden gem for nature lovers.

Game DrivesBirdwatchingWalking SafarisPhotographyThe Best Time to Visit Meru National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. This period offers the best weather for game drives, with clear skies and minimal rainfall. Wildlife sightings are also more frequent during this time as animals gather around water sources. The wet season, from November to May, brings lush vegetation and a quieter experience, with fewer tourists and more vibrant landscapes. While some areas of the park may be harder to access due to rain, the wet season is perfect for birdwatching and witnessing the park’s lush beauty. For those interested in visiting during quieter periods, the shoulder months of April and May are also ideal for fewer crowds.
