In Summary







    Remote, rugged and remarkably untouched, Meru National Park remains one of the country’s least-visited yet most captivating wildlife destinations.

    Straddling the equator and crisscrossed by 13 rivers and mountain-fed streams, the park offers an immersive experience in pure wilderness, where nature remains unspoiled and beautifully wild.

    According to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Meru National Park presents a stunning mix of landscapes from low-lying woodlands at 3,000 feet on the slopes of the Nyambene mountain range to expansive plains punctuated by doum palms along winding riverbanks.

    "Marvelous, remote, rugged and prominently unspoilt, Meru National Park sits intact in a wilderness less visited, yet surrounded by undiluted natural beauty,” KWS said.

    The park teems with a wide array of wildlife species, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffaloes, hartebeests, Grevy’s zebras and the distinctively patterned reticulated giraffe.
