Situated east of Meru, in beautiful Kenya, Meru National Park is one of the most popular parks in Kenya. Covering over 800 square kilometres, this park is wild and beautiful featuring diverse scenery with lush swamplands, thick jungle, vast savannah, and no less than thirteen rivers. Game to view includes some of the less regularly sighted animals like oryx, lesser kudu, duiker, dik-dik and over 300 species of birds have been recorded. It is here that Else the famous lion from the book and movie ‘Born Free’ lived out the latter part of her life and is buried. Visitors can soak up the spectacular views of Mount Kenya, spot game along the Tana River and view the cascading Adamson’s Falls.
Lying just off the southeastern coast of Kenya, Wasini Island is a laidback tropical paradise known for its white-sand beaches lapped by turquoise waters. Wasini Island is sparsely populated and undeveloped with only small fishing villages and a few Swahili ruins dating back to the 17th century. Visitors can snorkel and dive through the beautiful coral reef of Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park, spot dolphins and whales in the East African current, fish in the famous Pemba Channel, visit the 'Shimoni Slave Caves' and laze in a hammock enjoying magnificent views and the gentle sea breeze.
