Elsa’s Kopje - Private House Pool

Elsa’s Kopje

Elsa’s Kopje is an idyllic wilderness retreat situated close to the untamed expanse of Meru National Park. Nine spacious open-fronted cottages look out over breathtaking views of the plains.

The lodge at Elsa’s Kopje has been sensitively designed to blend in with the surrounding hillside and is located close to the original camp where George and Joy Adamson released Elsa the lioness into the wild.

Meru is ideal for those looking for something off-the-beaten-track and is well known for its bird life, with riverine and forest species as well as the arid dry country species. Regular sightings include elephant, white rhino, lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, giraffe and Grevy’s zebra.

The accommodation consists of nine open-fronted stone cottages with stunning views over open plains. Each cottage has a thatched roof and ensuite bathroom, with baths and showers built into the rocky hillside.

Children are very welcome and there is even a family cottage, which provides additional space for younger guests to have fun. Elsa’s Private House has been built into the hillside on the site of George Adamson’s original camp in ’Born Free’. It sleeps 4 and is perfect for small families.
