I would be just as happy with a fire lookout if you were there





KaribuniKENYA



Allow us to orientate you. To the west lies Mount Kilimanjaro, a dormant volcano and the highest peak in Africa. To the northwest ripple the gentle Chyulu Hills, some of the youngest hills in the world. All around you, as far as the eye can see, span miles and miles of untouched African wilderness, home to the greatest biodiversity on Earth.
Above you, an endless sky.
And you? You are here. Now. Exactly where you need to be. You’ve come to Finch Hattons Luxury Tented Camp, the top luxury camp in Kenya’s pristine Tsavo West National Park.
You’ve come to a place you never knew you always belonged.
Come experience this sense of belonging for yourself

OUR HISTORY

Denys Finch Hatton


COME EXPLORE
Tsavo National Park

In Tsavo, lava flows that are only 100 years old lie side by side with rocks that are millions of years old. Natural springs bubble from beneath the ground; rivers gush and swamps settle. The Chyulu hills undulate while Mount Kilimanjaro soars. Endless plains are home to lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, cheetahs, gerenuks, wildebeests, oryx, bushbucks, elands, giraffes, hartebeests and impalas. The lush rainforests hum and buzz and screech.
Tsavo is a place of contrasts and a place of great variety – the greatest, in fact. It boasts the largest biodiversity in the world, and numerous ecosystems and landscapes. It is famous for its 19th century man-eating lions, and for its references in the classic book and film, Out of Africa. Through its rich history and dramatic scenery, Tsavo connects nature, wildlife and humankind in profound and magnificent ways.
We invite you to explore and experience it, and to allow it to grip your soul.

“It is difficult to capture just how magical the Finch Hattons experience is until you go there. When you think you have seen the very best, more is delivered to you, exceeding your expectations. We were literally blown away by it and cannot recommend it enough if you want to be immersed in luxury, style, beauty and almost untouched nature.”

Legend, legacy and luxury
Finch Hattons is a magical place: located in a 35-acre concession within 9000m park of boundless African bush, complete with natural fresh water springs, rainforests, volcanoes, lava flow, and an abundance of fauna and flora in the south western corner of Tsavo West. At our camp, we count elephants, lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos and countless birds among our most treasured and frequent guests. These, we gently introduce to the intrepid travellers who come to us from near and far searching for an unparalleled wildlife experience.
Originally opened in 1993, Finch Hattons was entirely rebuilt between 2013 and 2015. The carefully considered architectural upgrades we made, together with our meticulous attention to detail, led to us receiving the best new safari camp award from Architectural Digest in 2015. In this has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed setting, we’re here to tailor make your luxury safari experience.

OUR PLACE

We also received our TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Take a look at our TripAdvisor page to read more about what our guests have to say about us.


Meet our passionate
TEAM

Finch Hattons is run by a passionate and experienced Kenyan team, about 60% of whom have been with the camp for over 15 years and about 40% since the very beginning. The original group joined as construction workers in 1993 and were trained on site. Many of the others contributed to the camp’s massive renovation in 2013. In very symbolic ways, this camp is theirs – they helped to build it from the ground up.
Setting the standard in luxury camps, Finch Hattons hospitality has become synonymous with fine dining, exemplary service and outstanding safaris.
Our team is here to answer any of your questions about our remarkable corner of the world, and to make your time here exceptional in every way. Please don’t hesitate to speak to us if there’s anything you need.

The result is a one-on-one experience with Africa; this is the bush in all of its immediate and unapologetic beauty.
