The fascinating history of Meru was made famous by born free, the bestselling novel and subsequent award-winning movie released in 1966 recounting the lives of George & Joy, together with Elsa the Lioness. This wonderful story made the park to be the talk among Hollywood legends and you can experience a part of the magical beauty of the park, the smells, the colors and the rich history. George’s pool is where George Adamson often took Elsa The Lioness for her afternoon walks and is the original camp site where the lions were raised and then released back into the wild. Here you will also find Elsa’s grave.
