Elsa's Kopje Meru
An award-winning boutique lodge sculpted into Mughwango Hill in Meru National Park, above the site of George Adamson's original lion camp.
Settle into Elsa's Kopje Meru
Unashamedly romantic and beautifully styled, Elsa's Kopje is sculpted into Mughwango Hill, above the site of George Adamson's original camp where he raised and released orphan lions long before conservation became fashionable. Each cottage is crafted around the rocks with a large bedroom, open sitting room, veranda and spacious bathroom, all with breathtaking views. Guests enjoy inimitable seclusion across the 870 sq km expanse of Meru National Park, home to a thriving rhino sanctuary, large elephant herds, hippo, lion and abundant birdlife, and recognised for more animal diversity than any other park in East Africa. Designed and built by Stefano Cheli and opened in 1999 by Dr Richard Leakey and Virginia McKenna of Born Free fame, this environmental award-winning lodge is widely renowned as one of the most elegant in Africa.
