The Meru National Park is beautiful in a manner that defies description. Its ruggedness, remoteness, vastness (870 square kilometres), tall grass, lush swamps (in rainy seasons), and historical roots, all combine to make it one of the country’s most sort after parks.
Its historical roots have a twist. It is a story about how a man’s guilty conscience led to an act of mercy that turned out to be an award-winning book and film – Born Free, that put the national park on the international map, changing the fortunes of the park forever.
