Although the wildlife is more difficult to spot, it is so much more rewarding when you finally find those lions / leopards / elephants. Everything is there. The park with the most beautiful light in Kenya.

Although Meru suffers from the effects of poaching, the quiet and solitude and sense of Kenyan history makes up for it. If you appreciate the story of 'Born Free' you will enjoy Meru National Park.

One of the true hidden gems in Kenya
Meru is arguably one of the best Safari destinations in Africa. Sure, Masai Mara is more visually stunning, but the widllife in Meru is equally prolific. Especially if you're a birdy you'll have a field day here. Also, Meru is a lot more quiet in terms of tourist driving around. With luck you'll see one or two other vechicles on a game drive.

Excellent for quiet, relaxed game drives. Beautiful scenery.
Large game park with excellent roads. Not too many visitors (unlike the Mara) so you have the park to yourself which is very nice. Animals are shy -you have to drive very slowly & carefully when approaching them. When we went in March is was very hot.
A couple of great lodges in the area. Elsa's Kopje is beautiful.

A big park in which you have your peace. Wildlife hides sometime in the bushes and trees. It has nice rivers with hipos and Adamson´s Falls at its far corner.

a really wild park, I loved it
I had a lovely experience: especially after seeing other beautiful parks in Kenya, I feel Meru remained untouched and the best part is there are no minibus crowds. Usually I met none ore one vehicle in my safari drives in the bush, I definitely recommend it if you look for something wild!

its bird life.The weather averaged about 30 degrees c, which was pleasant. We enjoyed sundowners and beautiful sunsets.
The food was excellent and we could not fault our trip in any way.
Would not hesitate to return.

Amazing experience!
We stayed at Elsa's Kopje, which was an absolutely extraordinary lodge with outstanding guides and spectacular views. As our first stop on a safari honeymoon, it delivered in spades. The wildlife was great, though different than the Mara with not necessarily the same diversity. The birds were incredible!
