One of the lesser visited parks, Meru is utterly unspoilt in its beauty. This stunning park doesn’t have the name recognition of some of the other famous locations in Kenya but it still plays host to the big five of African safari:
Plus many other animals, as well as over 420 species of birds.
The landscape of Meru is grasslands with riverine forests surrounding the Tana River which is teeming with beasts such as hippos and crocodiles. Here, your safari experience will be relaxing and engaging, with an interesting history attached to the park.
Only recently taken on as a national park, there has been lots of work by the Kenyan Wildlife Service to stamp out poaching and rehabilitate the park. As testament to their works, Elsa the Lioness of Born Free fame, was raised and eventually buried here.
Your African safari to Meru will be an unforgettable experience. Your booking with us is a private tour, meaning your vehicle and guide will be dedicated solely to your safari needs. Because your itinerary is personal you can choose to add a stop at Ol Pejeta Conservancy at the beginning or end of your trip, contact us to confirm the additional costs involved.

Your Kenyan safari begins in the nation’s capital, Nairobi. You will be collected from your hotel, residence, or the international airport from where your journey into the wilderness will begin. Your trip begins in the southern hemisphere, so as you track north you are invited to take a moment to mark the crossing of the equator at Ogutu.
After your opportune photoshoot, you will arrive in Meru and at your accommodation in time for lunch to be served. You will have time to settle into your room and get to know the facilities and drink in the views that surround you. The afternoon will see you embark on your first game drive through the park, giving you your first chance to see the wonderful creatures that populate the parklands.
Sunset out on the plains is a truly stunning site and the perfect end to your first day on safari. Upon returning to your chosen camp or lodge, you will be given dinner, followed by time to rest and relax in the safari atmosphere and listen to the sounds of the night across the park. Your first night on African safari includes:
Breakfast will start the day at your accommodation and you’ll get straight out on to the plains the start your full day exploring the park and the abundant nature within it. The early morning is a great time to be out in the scrublands, with animals starting the day with a burst of energy and the light from the sun offering perfectly photogenic circumstances.
Returning to your camp or lodge for lunch will give a brief moment to regroup before hitting the park again for an afternoon game drive in search of animals like:
As well as the big five of African safari and plenty of birds too.
A full day out in the wilds is rewarding yet tiring, so after dinner at your accommodation you can take personal time to relax or get to bed early ready for the morning’s activities. The second day of your safari in Kenya includes:
The dawn chorus is a magical experience out on the savannas. As the nocturnal animals head to sleep, the creatures of the day begin to stir. Mating calls and general singing creating an awesome cacophony of sound that is a treat to witness, along with the sun starting to rise above the horizon. After your early morning game drive to watch and listen, you will return to your accommodation for breakfast.
Next, you will embark on your journey south towards Nairobi. You can stop at the crossing of the equator once again, and lunch will be provided en route. Upon your arrive at Nairobi, your driver will be able to take you to your hotel, residence, or the international hospital depending on your onwards plans.
The final day of your African safari adventure includes:
Every itinerary can be crafted to your needs, from adjusting the length of your stay to including different accommodation and refining the route. Your safari is yours, shaped around your idea of a dream experience.
