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.

We traveled with JK Safaris for a week and our first stop was at Meru. This is a bit away from Nairobi and maybe that's why the park isn't very busy. It's a big advantage since you at time can view wildlife on pretty much on your own. This park might be one of your best chances to get to see one of the last black rhinos in the wild. We stayed at Murera Springs Eco Lodge which offered nice rooms just by the entrance to the park and also featured a small swimming pool for relaxing in the sun in between the safaris. Our guide Sammy from JK was really friendly and tried to give us the best experience possible. We had several meetings with Giraffes (and these are a different kind from those in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara), Elephants, Rhinos (black and white) and other beautiful animals. A visit is highly recommended.
