Lodge – Page 4 – Pure Breaks

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje Meru

Elewana Elsa’s Kopje is a timelessly elegant lodge in an equally spectacular location within the Meru National Park. The bond between the two is a special one – the National Park was popularised by George and Joy Adamson, who authored a book about their experiences rehabilitating lions; the book was made into a film entitled ‘Born Free’ starring Virginia McKenna, who became one of the lodge’s founders, and the revenue made by Elsa’s Kopje single-handedly saved the Park from quite literally disappearing off the map. Blending seamlessly into the slopes of Mughwango Hill, Elsa’s Kopje is blessed with cinematic views of the Meru plains that guests can relish from the decks of their luxury cottages. As one of only 2 lodges in the Meru Park, guests can have an exclusive safari experience among some of the most diverse wildlife practically all to themselves!
