Our Opinion: Elsa’s Kopje is named after Elsa the lioness, made famous by George and Joy Adamson’s biographical book and film ‘Born Free’. Renowned for an award winning design with stunning views from the open bar, lounge and dining room, Elsa’s Kopje is almost invisible to the eye as you approach its home on Mughwango Hill. It blends into the rocky crags of the kopje (small hill), built above the site of George Adamson’s original campsite. The park has enormous diversity of habitat and wildlife, game drives will take you through forests, past giant baobab trees, through clear spring fed streams lined with palms. This is lion and elephant country, but also Meru has many rare species including caracal, the beautiful lesser kudu, aardwolf, and over 400 species of birds.
