Step off the grid and into a landscape of untamed beauty where the wildlife is plentiful and the visitors are few. This journey takes you through high-rainfall forests and across sweeping plains, offering an exclusive feel that is hard to find in more popular reserves. It is the ultimate choice for the seasoned traveler looking to reconnect with nature in its most primitive and undisturbed form.
Depart Nairobi early and head north past the lush slopes of Mount Kenya. Arrive in Meru National Park in time for lunch at your lodge. Spend the afternoon exploring the diverse habitats, from swampy marshes to open plains, keeping an eye out for elephants and the rare lesser kudu.
Dedicate your day to the park’s hidden gems. Visit the highly protected Rhino Sanctuary to track both black and white rhinos. In the afternoon, explore the banks of the Tana River, where hippos and crocodiles congregate, and lions often wait in the thickets for a chance to hunt.
Enjoy a final hearty breakfast and begin the scenic drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon for drop-off at your Nairobi hotel or the airport.
