About The Tour
Marvelous, remote, rugged and prominently unspoilt, Meru sits intact in a wilderness less visited, yet surrounded by undiluted natural beauty. It is wild and beautiful, straddling the equator and bisected by 13 rivers and numerous mountain-fed streams. The scenery is diverse from woodlands at 3,000ft on the slopes of Nyambene mountain range, northeast of Mt. Kenya to wide-open plains with meandering riverbanks dotted with doum palms.

Wildlife & Attractions
The park teems with a variety of wildlife species including elephant, Grevy’s zebra, lion, cheetah, leopard, hartebeest, hippo, buffalo and the reticulated giraffe among others. Meru hosts a rhino sanctuary that is home to the endangered black and white rhino species.
Bird life is also exceptionally diverse with over 400 bird species recorded. These include Peter’s Fin foot, inhabiting the Murera and Ura rivers; Pel’s fishing owl, kingfishers, rollers, bee-eaters, starlings and weavers.
The rivers abound with hippo populations, crocodiles, and fish.
Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit Meru National Park in Kenya is during the dry seasons from June to September and January to February. These periods offer excellent wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources, and vegetation is less dense, enhancing visibility.
The dry weather also makes it easier for travelers to navigate the park and enjoy various activities. However, Meru’s lush landscapes during the wet seasons (March to May and October to December) can be appealing for birdwatching and experiencing the park’s vibrant flora.
Choose your preferred season based on your interests and the kind of safari experience you seek.
