Elsa's Kopje – Remember Elsa the lioness, made famous by George and Joy Adamson’s iconic book "Born Free"? Named after this lioness, Elsa’s Kopje is one of the most elegant lodges in Africa, with a spectacular setting above George Adamson’s original tented home in Meru National Park. Elsa’s Kopje seamlessly blends into the rocky crags of the "kopje", and the natural features of the hillside are incorporated into the uniquely designed cottages, each one of them the ultimate "room-with-a-view". Elsa’s Kopje features six deluxe cottages, three honeymoon cottages and one family cottage. Elsa’s Private House is an exclusive hideaway set slightly apart from the main lodge with its own infinity pool, garden, dining and lounge area. As Elsa’s is the only fully operating lodge in Meru, guests have virtually the entire park to themselves to explore the true wilderness of Africa. Meru National Park is popular for its diversity of natural habitats and wildlife, including the "Big Five" and many rare species endemic to Kenya’s north. It also features a thriving rhino sanctuary, making it the best high-end location to view black and white rhino in their natural habitat. Map ref: 105
