Place
Meru National Park
Nature
Meru National Park, Meru County, Kenya
A broad eastern park of grassland, wooded country, riverine forest, and a protected rhino sanctuary.
Why go
Why visit this place?
Thirteen rivers and many mountain-fed streams break up Meru's open plains and woodland, supporting elephants, buffalo, predators, northern dry-country species, and rich birdlife.
When you arrive
What to expect
A large, lightly visited park with long road distances, river crossings, changing vegetation, and distinct wildlife areas rather than a single concentrated viewing loop.
Local knowledge
Local tip
Confirm the intended gate and current park-road conditions before departure; the Murera approach and Ura approach enter different sides of a large landscape.
Visiting
Getting there
This journey reaches Murera Gate through Meru and Maua, then continues on mapped park roads to Bwatherongi.
Best time: The park is accessible throughout the year, but rain can change river crossings, vegetation, visibility, and the time needed on internal roads.
