Elewana Elsa's Kopje - Meru National Park - The Classic Safari Company

Elegant Eco Cottages

For many years Kenya’s best kept secret, the untamed wilderness of Meru National Park, is an area made famous by the film ‘Born Free’ and George Adamson’s lions.

The lodge itself is invisible to the eye as you approach and each of the 9 individually built cottages are luxuriously appointed and are the ultimate ‘room with a view’. Paved paths lit by lamps at night lead you to your generous cottage which is romantically swathed in netting. The bathrooms are sumptuous and there is a sense of space, style and pure relaxation. The infinity pool looks out across the plains, perfect for chilling out after a game drive or guided walk in the bush.

Activities include game drives in open-sided safari Land Rovers, driven by knowledgeable driver-guides, all of whom are members of the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association. Guided walks are led by your Guide and accompanied by a Ranger.Other attractions include bush breakfasts, ‘sundowners’, visits to the Tharaka tribal village on the southern boundary of the Park, and excursions into the nearby rhino sanctuary.

The game is shy but plentiful and truly wild.The Kenya Wildlife Service has recently released elephant & rhino into the Park to restock the game levels. Lions and Leopards are regularly heard and seen around Mughwango Hill.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Jenny Kidd

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

Elizabeth Mackintosh

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
