Offbeat Meru Camp

(Meru National Park - Kenya)

General Description
Offbeat Meru Camp is small, traditional and located on the edge of Meru National Park in the Bisanadi National Reserve. Almost brought to its knees by heavy poaching in the 80's and 90's Meru National Park is now thriving. It is once again home to the big five, after the recent re-introduction of Rhino, as well as a great number of other species including Grevy's Zebra, Reticulated Giraffe, Leopard, Gerenuk and Lesser Kudu. The park has 13 rivers which flow through the area encouraging a spectacular variety of birdlife.

Informal dining is hosted in the mess tent or around the campfire. The mess tent is spacious, with comfortable sofas, a writing table and bar.

Days are tailored to suit guest's requirements. Activities include day and evening game drives, walking safaris with armed guides, bush breakfasts, picnics and sundowners, and fly fishing in the local rivers. This area of Kenya gets hot during the dry season, and so after an active morning in the bush there's no better feeling than coming back to camp and cooling off in the swimming pool and watching the wildlife at the Bisanadi River below you.

Accommodation
The camp consists of only 6 tents - 3 twin and 3 double. There is 24 hour solar lighting in the tents, while the rest of the camp is lit by traditional 'tilly' lamps. Each of the 6 tents is furnished with a large iron bed, its own en-suite bathroom, traditional bucket shower and flushing toilet.
