Ikweta Safari Camp
This terrific place is just outside Meru National Park, 2.5km from Murera Gate on the road in from Meru, so you can be inside the park in minutes. The semi-luxurious tents (with wi-fi) are outrageously good value and put to shame many tented camps that charge so much more for so much less. The more-than-300 indigenous plants need a little time to mature, but when they do, this place will be even better. Most of the food served is grown in engaging host Susan’s garden and is delicious. Even if you are not staying at the camp, you can make a booking to come for lunch or dinner. The name ‘ikweta’ is Swahili for ‘equator’.
