Kenya
Safari Camp named for Elsa the Lioness from 'Born
Free'
Mer
National Park, Kenya, Africa: Chili and Peacock opened
their new permanent camp, Elsa's Chop in June of 1999. The
camp is situated in
Kenya's Mer National Park, and has been named after Elsa,
the orphaned lioness reared and released back into Mer
National Park by George and Joy Adams. The camp is perched
on top of Mugwongo Hill, a rocky outcropping (chop) that
affords beautiful views of the stunning landscape of
Kenya.
This is the fourth camp in
operation by Stefan
Chili and
Liz
Peacock. As a natural
extension of their mutual love of the African wilderness,
they started operating safaris in 1985.
For the past twelve years
they have consistently set standards in the industry, not
only for quality of service provided, but also for their
commitment to wildlife, conservation and environmentally
friendly tourism. Chili and Peacock's first permanent luxury
tented camp, Tortillas Camp in Kenya's Ambles National Park,
won British Airways Southern Region Tourism for Tomorrow
award for excellence in eco-tourism. Elsa's Chop, built with
the same care and dedication to conservation, is destined to
once again illustrate the high standards of the Chili and
Peacock properties.
