A Complete Wilderness- Meru National Park

Meru National Park covers an area of 870 kilometers square; it is one of the most famous known parks of Kenya, located in a part of a vast expanse of savanna in the basin of the Tana River on the relatively rainy eastern side of Mount Kenya. Meru National Park has three bordering parks and reserves. Bisanadi National Reserve forms the continuation of the park to the east, while on the other side of the Tana River, to the south, lies North Kitui National Reserve and the much bigger Kora National Park. These three wildlife areas are not yet easily accessed. Meru National Park gets the most of its waters from Nyambene Hills, the park gets progressively drier as you head southeast towards the Tana River, where the altitude averages around 300m and temperatures are correspondingly higher, Because of the many south-east-flowing Rivers, much of the park feels like an assortment of long islands sandwiched between the rivers, with park roads gyrating back and forth overcrossing points
