~ The long drive from Naro Moru to Meru National Park was during late afternoon to the twilight of early evening. The route took us northward through lush farms and then eastward toward the city of Meru, before ultimately passing over the rough, pothole-filled road to the Murera Gate of Meru National Park. We arrived at the Murera Springs Eco Resort after dark, grateful for the warm welcome and dinner by candlelight awaiting us.
