Meru

The northeastern slopes of Mount Kenya define the setting of Meru — this county capital lies in Kenya’s equatorial highlands, where productive farmland sustains a busy regional market town. Meru is the administrative centre of Meru County and a useful point of reference for the settled country between the mountain and Kenya’s drier north. Bananas, coffee and other crops from surrounding farms shape local trade, while miraa is an important crop in the wider Meru region. The town is closely associated with the Meru people and the Njuri Ncheke, a traditional council of elders.
