The Wildlife of Meru National Park and the Best Time To Visit:
Meru National Park actually receives a fairly high annul rainfall making the ground vegetation and grasses much longer, this in turn also makes the game viewing slightly more tricky. This does not mean however that it should be ignored as part of your Kenyan vacation as it does still provide some good wildlife sightings including cheetahs and leopards. The best time of year to travel is also during the drier months of June through to October.
