From Meru town, you can take a matatu (shared taxi) heading towards Isiolo. This journey will take about 1 to 1.5 hours. Inform the driver that you want to alight at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy entrance. Once you reach the entrance, you may need to arrange a taxi or a park vehicle to take you into the conservancy itself, as the distances inside the park can be significant. Expect to pay around 1500-2000 KES for this additional transport.
