Romantic bath<\/p><\/div>\n

Kenya’s best kept secret, the untamed wilderness of Meru National Park is best explored from its hidden jewel – Elsa’s Kopje. It was made famous by the film ‘Born Free’ and George Adamson’s lions, the lodge is invisible as you approach the kopje.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Each of the 10 individually built cottages are luxurious and we love the three honeymoon suites that come with romantic candlelit baths.<\/p>\n
