Meru National Park

A visually stunning National Park made famous by Elsa the lioness in the book and subsequent movie Born Free, Meru is one of Kenya’s least visited parks. Though it was hit hard by poaching, animals are now on the rebound and the park remains incredibly beautiful with few visitors, just as Joy and George Adamson found it – and Elsa – decades ago.
