Elsa’s Private House built by the original designer of Elsa’s Kopje is set apart from the rest of the lodge, providing complete exclusivity and privacy. The house consists of one double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a large bath-tub and one spacious twin room, with en-suite bathroom. The living area spills into your very own private swimming pool which falls neatly into the horizon beyond the Meru plains. Elsa’s Private House provides guests with their very own private safari house.
Elsa’s Kopje is a luxurious oasis in the wilds of Meru National Park. Elsa’s Kopje was named after Elsa the lioness made famous by George and Joy Adamson in the film ‘Born Free’, released into the wild here in Meru. The word Kopje means ‘small hill’. The lodge blends into the hillside of Mughwango Hill, site of George Adamson’s original camp. Meru is vast with arid, open plains dotted with Doum Palms and Baobab trees and lush vegetation along 13 rivers, like green ribbons, bisecting the Park. Here visitors will see a more diverse range of species than in any other Park or Reserve. Regular sightings include Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk, Elephant, Grevy’s Zebra, Reticulated Giraffe, Lesser Kudu, Grant’s Gazelle, Leopard, Lion, Cheetah, Rhino and the rare, elusive Greater Kudu. Meru is famous for its bird life, including riverine and forest species as well as the arid dry country species. Activities include game drives in open-sided safari Land Rovers, driven by knowledgeable driver-guides, all members of the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association. Guided walks are led by a Professional Safari Guide and accompanied by a Ranger. Other attractions include bush breakfasts and sundowners and visits to the Tharaka tribal village on the Southern Boundary of the Park. | Style | Thatched safari house | | Air/Con | No | | Dining | Yes | | Children | Yes | | No. of Bedrooms | 2 (1 double/twin, 1 double - both ensuite) | | Pool | Yes | | Activities | Game drives, bush walks, night drives, fishing and day excursions | | Price Range | From about £700.00 per night for whole house, max 4 guests |
