Rhino River Camp canvas cottages are scattered along the river bank, with each enjoying its own unimpeded view, thus ensuring a private and peaceful stay in the most romantic setting imaginable. All Rhino River Camp rooms have a literary theme and each is named after a writer or an artist who left a sign in African cultural history.

Like the others Karen Blixen Suite is built on wooden decks along the river and spread over a surface of some 80 square meters (240 square feet) making it a spacious and comfortable room indeed.

At the heart of Rhino River Camp is the dining area, bar and space to relax, read, unwind and share tales of what you have seen on safari with the other visitors to the camp. Rhino River Camp swimming pool is nearby, built above the contour of the riverbank and surrounded with comfortable wooden decking. A separate cottage devoted to massage and other spa treatments completes the facilities available to our guests.

African Spice Safaris will take you out in four-wheel drive vehicles together with professional guides to explore the bush at your pace, and to enjoy a vivid, personal connection with some of the magnificent creatures that call this area home. Seen in their natural habitat, the animals of Meru afford the visitor a wonderful experience of African wilderness and raw, unspoilt nature, complemented by the beautiful landscapes visible at every turn.

Rhino River Camp has a range of other activities available on and off camp, including bush walks, mountain biking and visiting the villages of the peaceful and friendly Meru people – every activity an opportunity to enjoy the stunning scenery and rhythms of life that are classically African. Once you have worked up an appetite, you are free to indulge and enjoy the fine cuisine prepared by experienced, creative chefs in the camp or out en plein air on one of our luxuriously set bush meals.

Rhino River Camp is conveniently located within easy walking distance of the Rhino Sanctuary inside Meru National Park. Within the Camp guests can enjoy the sights and sounds over 180 species of different colorful birds, together with resident mammals that include Syke’s monkeys, baboons, dik diks, bush babies, porcupines, and the occasional bush buck. Meru N. P. is also home to species as reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, and Oryx which are not to be found in many other National Parks or areas in Kenya.

Needless to say that Meru was the place where the saga of Elsa the lioness of “Born Free” fame unfolded – lions are of course still there and regularly seen. Some of them have to be the heirs of the most famous lioness in the world!
