Elsa's Kopje

Elsa’s Kopje is named after Elsa the lioness, made famous by George and Joy Adamson’s biographical book and film “Born Free”. Elsa’s Kopje remains one of the most elegant lodges in Africa, with one of the most spectacular settings. It is the best upmarket location to view rhino in their natural habitat in Kenya.

Elsa’s Kopje is almost invisible to the eye as you approach its home on Mughwango Hill. It blends into the rocky crags of the “kopje” (small hill), built above the site of George Adamson’s original campsite.

The Park is the driest in the country and the landscape is incredible, with the Parks 13 rivers running off the mountains cutting green pathways through the dry brown valleys.

While staying at Elsa's Kopje there are a number of activities to choose from. Day and night game drives are available, or it is possible to take a guided walk, or go fishing or enjoy a massage. Cultural visits can also be arranged.

There are just 8 en-suite cottages and one Honeymoon Suite. Each elegant cottage is the ultimate ‘room-with-a-view’, uniquely designed and crafted, incorporating the natural features of the rocky hillside.

The main guest areas consist of an open bar, lounge and dining room with an exceptionally inviting infinity pool overlooking the Meru plains.
