Offbeat Meru Camp
Meru National Park

Offbeat Meru Camp is a 12 bedded traditional semi-permanent camp situated just outside Meru National Park in the Bisanadi National Reserve, set above the pretty Bisanadi River. Meru National Park offers visitors a chance to visit one of Kenya’s most magical parks away from the masses. The park has a wide variety of landscapes and is dominated by savannah, but includes riverine forest and swamps. The park is bisected by 13 rivers which flow towards the Tana River in the south and rise in the Nyambene Hills to the west.

The park has excellent game viewing opportunities which include Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Elephant, Black and White Rhino (in one of Kenya’s best areas with close to 60 Rhino in total), Eland, Gerenuk, Beisa Oryx, Grant’s Gazelle, Grevy’s Zebra, Lesser Kudu and Reticulated Giraffe as well as over 280 species of birds. The camp will be hosted by owner Piers Winkworth.

Accommodation

The camps itself comprises of six tents, three twins and three doubles (an extra bed can be added to make a triple). Each tent is furnished with a huge Iron bed, and has its own en-suite bathroom, with traditional bucket shower and flushing loo. In addition, there is 24 hour solar lighting in the tents, whilst the rest of the camp is lit by traditional tilly lamps. Informal dining is hosted in the mess tent or usually outside under a canopy of stars.
