Living Free Safari Package in Kenya

DAY 02      NAIROBI – MERU NATIONAL PARK 

After breakfast depart for Meru National Park.  Located east of Mount Kenya, the park covers 336 square miles (870 square kilometers) of hills, grasslands and unique geological features. The park plays a vital role in protecting the vital ecosystem along the Tana River, and the conservation efforts continue beyond the park borders into Kora National Park, Bisanadi, Rahole and Mwingi National Reserves.

In addition to the ecological value of the area, the Meru outback is also noted as the inspiring setting for the film “Born Free”. Varied landmarks in the locale, such as Elsa’s Kopje, commemorate the work of Joy and George Adamson. Their work was critical in advancing wildlife protection and changing public perception of the magnificent animals of East Africa. Connect with all the beauty that Meru offers with game drives, nature walks, hiking, biking through villages, fishing, picnicking at Adamson’s Falls and so much more.

It is highly recommended that you visit the former home of Joy and George Adamson, as well as the local settlements outside the park for a distinct cultural experience of the Ameru or Ngaa tribal people.

There are 12 remnant glaciers on the mountain, all receding rapidly, and four secondary peaks that sit at the head of the U-shaped glacial valleys.
