Safari Camps and
Lodge in Meru National Park |
 |
Meru National
Park is located
in Meru Country
in Kenya's
Eastern Province
below the
eastern slopes
of Nyambene
Hills. The Park
lies 85 Km east
of Meru town.
It is managed
by Kenya
wildlife service
on behalf of the
Central
Government.
Meru National Park is wild and beautiful. Straddling the equator and bisected by
13 rivers and numerous mountain-fed streams, it is an especially beautiful area
of Kenya. It has diverse scenery from woodlands at 3,000 feet on the slopes of
Nyambene Mountain Range, northeast of Mount Kenya, to wide open plains with
wandering riverbanks dotted with Doum palms.
Game to view includes: lion,
elephant, cheetah, leopard and some of the rarer antelopes; Lesser Kudu, duiker
and Dik Dik, one of Africa's smallest antelopes. Large prides of lion can be
seen and some of Kenya's largest herds of buffalo. The rivers abound with hippo
and crocodile, fishing for barbus and catfish is permitted at camp sites and
along the Tana River. In the mid 1980's, the Park suffered from poaching,
however Kenya Wildlife Service armed wildlife security patrols have driven out
the poachers and the elephant population has stabilised with breeding herds
settling down.
Over 300 species
of birds have
been recorded
including: the
Peter's Finfoot
which inhabits
the Murera and
Ura Rivers, the
Pel's Fishing
Owl,
kingfishers,
rollers,
bee-eaters,
starlings and
numerous
weavers.
Meru National
Park is most
famous as the
setting for Joy
Adamson's book
"Born Free" -
the story of the
Adamson's life
and research
amongst lion and
cheetah. "Elsa"
the lioness was
the most
well-known and
her grave is
marked here.
Often referred
to as "a
complete
wilderness",
Meru Park
National Park is
wild, ideal for
camping,
picnics,
adventures and
safaris. With 14
permanent rivers
and numerous
springs, it is a
green paradise
compared to dry
savannah of
Kenya’s parks.
Meru is also
referred to as “
Born free”
country, Kenya's
best kept
secret. In the
wilds of Meru
Park , Joy
Adamson wrote
the book “Born
Free”, detailing
her relationship
with the
lioness, Elsa.
It is here that
Elsa the lioness
of born free
fame was raised,
released to the
wild and buried.
