Elsa’s Kopje Meru

An Elewana Collection lodge built into the granite kopje where Joy Adamson raised Elsa the lioness of Born Free fame, with thatched cottages carved among the rocks and sweeping views over Meru’s plains. Netted four-poster beds, an open-sided lounge and bar, and a genuinely wild, off-the-beaten-track setting — Meru sees a fraction of the visitors of Kenya’s bigger parks.
