Meru National Park is home to 13 rivers and a vast variety of different habitats. It was made famous by conservationist Joy Adamson and the movie based on her book "Born Free."

Due to the presence of several endangered bird species, it is a birdwatcher's paradise. Elsa the lioness from "Born Free" lived in Meru, a small yet incredibly diversified park that gives off the impression of a much wider environment.
