Meru Park prides itself for the history of the coming together of Joy Adamson’s best-selling book “Born Free”. The script is based on the Adamsons’ lives and research on lions and cheetahs. George and his spouse Joy Adamson are best known through the movie Born Free. The movie based on a true story of Elsa the lioness; an orphaned cub they had rescued, raised and later released into this park.
