THE LEOPARD ROCK HOTEL

Significant tourism and hospitality resources in Meru County, the Meru national park is extremely rich in flora and fauna but the facility has been constrained, inadequate bed capacity, poor infrastructure and marketing e.g

1. The Leopard Rock-We intend to build an Eco-lodge once the existing lease expires.
2. Identify, map out and market other sites on our side of Mt.Kenya, build facilities, brand and market the assets.
3. Opportunity for MICE tourism.
4. Promoting Meru within the Mt. Kenya east tourism circuit.
5. Mt. Kenya has a powerful tourism brand internationally but no tourism asset on our side of the mountain.
