Meru National Park is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife.
Our four-wheel drive vehicles and professional guides are at your disposal to explore the bush at your pace, and to enjoy a vivid, personal connection with some of the magnificent creatures that call this area home. Seen in their natural habitat, far from the minibus crowds, the animals of Meru afford the visitor a wonderful experience of African wilderness and raw, unspoilt nature, complemented by the beautiful landscapes visible at every turn.
You are likely to see rhino, lion, cheetah, elephant, buffaloes, reticulated giraffes, and many more. Not to mention birdlife which in Meru is peculiarly diverse.
Our guides are all members of the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association.
Ask us to arrange for a bush breakfast or a bush lunch. This will allow you to spend more time on your game drive not to mention the thrill and the pleasure of having a meal into the wilderness of Africa.
In our privately owned compound we have carved a few paths which will allow you to walk comfortably around our pristine environment on foot.
The paths are specially selected to bring you along places where you are most likely to see unusual birds, and many other small creatures around camp.
You can also leave the confines of the lodge and visit on foot the nearby farms, villages or simply the countryside.
Sundowners are the ideal way to end your day. Enjoy a drink with a view from the small crater “Kilimajero” which is at a short distance from Rhino River Camp.
The setting sun on the Nyambeni Hills will add to your enjoyment. Or ask us to arrange for a sundowner in one of the spots we have selected into the Park.
After a busy day of adventure in the bush, why not relax completely with a massage or treatment from our skilled masseuse?
