Kenya Safari Tour Packages for Holidays and Adventure
Discover Meru’s woodland, river landscapes and wildlife on a private northern Kenya safari.
Exclusive road vehicle and guide · Written itinerary
A place with its own character
Meru National Park is a compelling choice when you want a different setting from Kenya’s best-known plains. Rivers and palm-fringed habitats add variety to a northern wildlife journey.
Meru itineraries range from a focused park stay to longer northern circuits linking Samburu, Mount Kenya and Ol Pejeta.

Private road safaris use an exclusive vehicle and guide. The itinerary and quotation specify accommodation, park entries, transfers and selected activities.
Add a night, change the route or tell us what matters most. Use these itineraries as a starting point for a private trip.
Look a little closer
Each destination has its own landscapes, wildlife habitats and activities. Private guiding follows the booked itinerary and the permitted routes.
Explore different woodland and river circuits with your guide. The changing vegetation makes the landscape part of the experience.
Meru contains a protected rhino sanctuary area within its wider network of wildlife habitats and game-drive routes.
Meru is associated with the Born Free story. Combine that interest with wildlife drives without assuming a particular heritage visit is included.
The rhino sanctuary is a wildlife habitat, not a guaranteed close encounter. Separate activities or special access need explicit confirmation.
Choose a base that makes sense
Camp and lodge location determines access to wildlife areas and the length of transfers. The accommodation booking identifies the property, room category and meal plan.
Meru lodges and camps provide bases for wildlife circuits within the park. Property location determines gate access and the routes reached on game drives.
Remote camps differ in room setting, power supply, meal service and vehicle access. These details form part of the accommodation arrangements.
Balance Meru nights with Samburu or the highlands rather than trying to see every area in a short trip.
The safari total covers the items listed in the quotation: accommodation, meals, private transport, guiding, entries, activities and transfers. Rates vary by season, party size and room arrangement.
A little planning goes a long way
Meru itineraries range from a focused park stay to longer northern circuits linking Samburu, Mount Kenya and Ol Pejeta.
Rain changes vegetation and river crossings. We confirm road conditions and plan a pace that leaves room for exploring without rushing transfers.
Entry fees follow the park or conservancy authority, visitor category, age, travel dates and activities. The safari quotation itemises the entries included in the itinerary.
Park road safaris use an exclusive vehicle and guide. Tour minivans and Land Cruiser 4x4s provide the transport options, with the vehicle matched to the itinerary and party.

We were able to see so many animals up close. In addition to seeing all the big 5, he pointed out beautiful birds and all kinds of other wildlife. Going before the high season felt like a big win. We didn’t see the wildebeest migration, but we also didn’t have to battle crowds and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The lodge he booked for us was amazing, and he made our pickup and drop off a seamless experience…

Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. Grasses were high though because of rainy season limiting view of some animals. Great for a half day excursion when in nairobi. Not the same as going for an overnight on serngheti though…
