Perched high on top of Mughwango Hill, Elsa Kopje Lodge stands as a tribute to Elsa, the orphaned lioness made famous in the movie Born Free. Charming cottages are crafted around the natural features of the hill, each with a spacious bedroom, open sitting rooms, ensuite bathroom, and large veranda with breathtaking views of the savannah below. Elsa’s Private House – with double rooms, a sitting room, a veranda, and a plunge pool – is ideal for families.
Guests can enjoy inimitable seclusion in the vast expanse of Elsa’s Kopje, boasting 870km², the equivalent of 215,000 acres, of authentic African landscape. The park offers a thriving rhino sanctuary, and is famous for large elephant herds, hippo, lion, and birdlife; Meru National Park is recognized as having more diversity of animal species than any other park in East Africa.
