MERU
NATIONAL PARK, KENYA
Meru National Park was made famous by the book Born Free, detailing author
Joy Adamson’s hand-rearing of orphaned lioness Elsa in the Park. The
beautiful Rojewero River bisects the Park, and along its banks birdwatchers
may be fortunate enough to spot the handsome palm-nut vulture and the very
elusive Peter’s finfoot.
Sweetwaters Game Reserve and Chimpanzee Sanctuary
This 24-000 acre reserve saddling the Equator enjoys magnificent views
across the plains to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya, and has an
abundance of wildlife and tropical vegetation. Sweetwaters Game Reserve and
Chimpanzee Sanctuary is the closest reserve to Kenya's Capital Nairobi to
boast all of the "Big 5" game - Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo.
Only 2.5 hours or 250 kilometers north of Nairobi on a paved highway, the
reserve is easily accessible and has the highest ratio of
game-to-geographical-area of all parks and reserves in Kenya.
