Elsa's Kopje lodge is found in the Meru National Park and blends into the hillside of Mughwango Hill. Meru is vast with arid, open plains dotted with Doum Palms and Baobab trees and lush vegetation along 13 rivers, like green ribbons, bisecting the Park.
It is an 8-hour 40-minute international flight to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi. From the International Airport it's a 30-60 minute drive across Nairobi to Wilson Airport, where you will catch a 50-minute internal flight to the Mughwango airstrip. On arriving guests are transferred by 4 x 4 safari vehicle, just 5-minutes to the camp. Alternatively, there is a helicopter pad which is a 2-minute drive from the lodge. Elsa's can arrange private road transfers.
