Meru National Park is one of the least visited and therefore one of the least spoiled of Kenya’s parks. The equator bisects the park whose 1810 sq km landscape is mainly given over to bush-land but with grasslands in the west. Thick forests grow along the park’s many watercourses. Meru became more famous after the worldwide release of the 1966 film ‘Born Free’ which charted the story of a hand-reared orphan lioness named “Elsa” by animal conservationist Joy Adamson and his Husband George Adamson.
