Elewana Elsa’s Kopje: An Especial Safari

The wildly-sensational and acclaimed Elsa’s Kopje Lodge on Mughwango Hill in Meru National Park is lauded for its luxury safari experience and stunning vistas. As the name suggests, the 10-cottages Elsa Kopje is set on the bloggable site of George Adamson’s camp from where he raised Elsa the orphaned lioness on a remarkable edge of a poised rock outcrop or kopje. Its swanky swimming pool blurs the line between lodge and the plains. Beautifully perched on a rocky hill, the lodge overlooks the vast plains, rivers, and landscape of Meru National Park.

Beyond the boundless wilderness below, plenty of bush adventure await visitors to Elsa’s Kopje including day and evening game drives around Meru National Park in a customized 4×4 game-viewing vehicles, guided expeditions up Mughwango Hill – which provides remarkable 360 degree views, day excursions to Tana River and Kora National Reserve, visits to the rhino sanctuary, line-fishing in spring-fed streams, and a visit to Born Free Museum. Air Kenya and Safarilink operate daily flight to Elsa’s Kopje Lodge – which is the easiest and best means to arrive here.

Around Kenya, there is a collection of rare experiences, in amazing lodges, offering guests intimate encounters with parts of the world not many get to know – and the chance to slow down and truly discover them. Each lodge is rooted in its local community and dedicated to protecting the habitat and cultures.
