about

Remote and rugged, Meru was once nearly lost to poaching—but today, it's a symbol of rebirth. Wetlands, forests, and savannas shelter elephants, rhinos, and lions, as well as rare birdlife. But Meru is perhaps most famous for its connection to Born Free. It was here that Elsa the lioness was raised and later returned to the wild, inspiring a global conservation movement that endures through the Born Free Foundation.
