One of the most diverse parks in Africa is the Meru park in Kenya . It combines incongruous. On the one hand, the park is in the arid part of Africa, and on the other, 14 water bodies originate next to it. This amount of water caused the appearance of swamps and forests, which in turn made the Meru Park one of the most interesting parks in Africa.
