ELSA’S
KOPJE - MERU NATIONAL PARK
Elsa’s
Kopje was named after Elsa the lioness who was made famous by George
and Joy Adamson in the film “Born Free”. Situated on a kopje, meaning
small hill, the lodge camouflages itself into the hillside of Mughwango
Hill, George Adamson’s original camp.For
many years Kenya’s best kept secret, the untamed wilderness
of Meru National Park is best explored from its hidden jewel – Elsa’s Kopje. Made famous
by the film ‘Born Free’ and George Adamson’s lions, the lodge is
invisible to the eye as you approach the kopje. Each of the 9 individually
built cottages are luxuriously appointed, and here you’ll find the
ultimate ‘room with a view’.
The 9 stone and thatch guest cottages
are crafted around the natural features of the hill. Paved paths,
lit by lamps at night, lead from each cottage to the comfortable
open bar,
lounge
and dining room. There is a sense of space, style and pure relaxation.
The ultimate ‘pool with a view’ looks out across the plains, perfect
for chilling out after a game drive or guided walk in the bush.
Every cottage is uniquely designed. The generous double or twin
beds are romantically swathed in netting.
The bathrooms are sumptuous: showers or baths made out of stone,
modern flush toilets, bidets and double basins.
One
double cottage is set slightly apart from the others, ideal for
families with children or a group. It has a double bedroom and a
twin bedroom (bathrooms en-suite).
Elsa’s Private House was completed
in June 2005. Built by the original designer of Elsa’s Kopje. Elsa’s
Private House is set apart from the rest of the lodge, providing
complete exclusivity and privacy. The house consists of one double
bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a large bath-tub. There is a
spacious twin room, with en-suite bathroom. The living area spills
into your very own private swimming pool. The pool falls neatly
into the horizon beyond the Meru plains. Elsa’s Private House provides
guests with their very own piece of Kopje paradise. One of Kenya’s best pools with a view!
