About Meru, Kenya

Located on the northeastern slopes of Mount Kenya, Meru is a bustling town in the heart of Kenya. It is home to the Meru people, a Bantu ethnic group whose name translates as “shining light”. According to legend, they were guided here by the magical powers of a divine leader, Mugwe.
