Elewana Elsa’s Kopje, named in honor of Elsa the lioness from George and Joy Adamson’s celebrated book and film Born Free, is one of Africa’s most elegant lodges, set amidst the stunning landscapes of Meru National Park. Built into Mughwango Hill, this lodge offers sweeping views of the Meru plains from almost every vantage point.

Each uniquely designed cottage provides a ‘room-with-a-view’ experience, artfully blending with the rocky hillside’s natural features. Guests enjoy luxurious amenities, including a stylish lounge and dining area, a beautiful infinity pool, and an ideal sundowner spot that make Elsa’s Kopje the ultimate safari retreat.

Elsa’s Private House, set slightly apart from the main lodge, is a spacious, private hideaway with an exclusive living and dining area, leading into a secluded garden and private pool.
