Day 1
Nairobi-Meru National Park
Nairobi-Meru National Park
You will be picked up from your hotel or the airport and driven to Meru National Park which lies 10km north of the equator between Mount Kenya and the Nyambeni Mountains.
Meru forms part of a larger conservation area covering 370,000 acres including the adjoining Kora, Rahole and Bisanadi Reserves. The park also incorporates a rhino sanctuary, making Meru one of the prime destinations to see rhino in their natural habitat. The birdlife is extraordinarily colorful and abundant with over 400 species of birds. Rugged and remote, Meru National Park was rescued from oblivion hence visitors get the whole place to themselves: all 870 km2 of it, including a thriving rhino sanctuary inside the park. Famous for large elephant herds, lion and birdlife, and more diversity of animal species than any park in East Africa: Meru is also the only National Park to permit ranger-guided bush walks. Other activities include fishing in the streams, game drives to Kora and Bisanadi National Reserves.
