Meru National Park

Lying North East of Mount Kenya, this park is known for its remote location and is therefore less frequented by tourists. Although generally semi-arid, several streams flowing off the mountain have led to the proliferation of rich forests and marshes which sustain the usual wildlife in addition to several species best spotted here, such as the Gerenuk and Lesser Kudu.
