As one of Kenya's hidden gems and once home to conservationists Joy and George Adamson, Meru National Park consists of hilly landscapes, green riverine forests, and vast open grasslands. This provides for diverse wildlife viewing and excellent bird watching opportunities. Remaining relatively below the tourist radar offers serenity and exclusivity.
