Meru National Park

Meru National Park, pristine wilderness, offering an exceptional setting for wildlife safaris and outdoor adventure. Strikingly beautiful and richly diverse, the park provides expansive landscapes where few destinations can compare. Meru forms part of a greater conservation ecosystem that supports wide-ranging wildlife movement and immersive safari experiences.
A true birdwatchers’ paradise, the park’s varied habitats attract a wide array of bird species, making it a rewarding destination for bird enthusiasts. By night, Meru transforms into a haven for astro tourism and guided night wildlife safaris, where clear skies reveal dazzling constellations and nocturnal animals emerge, offering rare after-dark encounters in the African wilderness.
Rich in culture and heritage, Meru National Park is closely linked to the vibrant Tharaka Nithi Cultural Festival, which celebrates the traditions, music, dance, and crafts of the surrounding communities while promoting conservation awareness and sustainable tourism. The park also holds a special place in Kenya’s conservation history through the iconic Born Free story of George and Joy Adamson, and Elsa the lioness — the orphaned cub they rescued, raised, and successfully returned to the wild.
The park supports a range of sports, events, and outdoor experiences, from guided nature walks to adventure-based activities, making Meru National Park a multifaceted destination where conservation, heritage, stargazing, and wilderness exploration come together.
