Lucy is a co-founder of Kenya Treks, a niche tour operator specialising in trekking and hiking trips to some of Kenya's offbeat hidden gems. She is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and has been organising adventurous travel to Kenya since 2009.
Meru Wilderness is a traditional style mobile camp with space for just eight guests. It's operated by Laikipia Wilderness, and I know the couple who run it personally. This is the classic, simple safari experience: bucket en-suite showers, drop toilets, meals served in the dining tent or under the shade of a nearby tree. Meru Wilderness pairs nicely with the sister camp in Laikipia.

Safari in Kenya
My single most important tip for Kenya safari first-timers is to avoid the mistake of non-stop game drives. Standard tour operator itineraries shuttle you from park to park with a gruelling schedule of game drives.
The best safaris in Meru National Park
The country's forgotten national park – Meru was once one of the most popular of all Kenya safari parks.
Kenya besides safari
The most popular add-on to a safari is to throw in a bit of sun and sand time on Kenya’s delicious Indian Ocean coastline. Direct flights link most of the main national parks and reserves with Diani and Malindi beaches.
