Meru National Park

Meru National Park, located in central Kenya, is a rugged wilderness of striking biodiversity, distinguished by its high density of lion prides thriving in its vast, untamed landscape. Its terrain forms a captivating mosaic of savannah grasslands, winding rivers, dense woodlands, and dramatic mountain foothills. The park is famously associated with the conservationists Joy and George Adamson, who rehabilitated the lioness Elsa here, a legacy that continues with its thriving and observable lion populations today. This less-crowded sanctuary offers excellent and varied sightings, from elephant and rhino to the park’s unique claim: numerous, robust lion prides ruling over its rich ecosystems.
