Elsa’s Kopje is, most possibly, one of the most famous lodges in East Africa. Made famous through its link with George Adamson’s lions, this rocky outcrop now hosts a collection of luxury cottages that are dotted amongst its crags. Each of the 9 rooms has been designed to wrap around the rock that provides the rear wall, and out from the front the views across the Meru plains are spectacular. With a great infinity pool and communal dining and lounge area, the lodge has rightly deserved its reputation.
