Finch
Hatton's Camp: Finch Hatton's Camp lies at
the heart of Tsavo West National Park - part of Kenya’s
single largest game park. Finch
Hattons’ 35 acre concession sits on the south
western edge of Tsavo West.
A
green oasis fed by an underground spring that pumps
a constant supply of water into three pools before disappearing
back into the volcanic earth.
These
pools are home to a resident pod of hippopotamus that
spend their days wallowing in the shallows and their
nights grazing around the camp. Crocodiles and a healthy
population of terrapins and monitor lizards are often
seen sunning themselves at the water’s edge while
a wide variety of game has been sighted in and around
Finch Hatton's Camp which is unfenced so the animals
come and go as they please. Bird life at Finch Hatton's
Camp is spectacular with over 200 locally recorded species.
Yellow
barked Acacia Xanthophlea trees surround the tents which
are beautifully located and offer comfortable and stylish
accommodation in an idyllic setting. Many boast spectacular
views directly overlooking the hippo pools and springs.
Denys
Finch Hatton was one of Kenya's great adventurers.
He devoted his life to exploring the wild in style.
In his camp, dinner was served on fine china with silver
and crystal, while the gentle strains of Mozart played
in the background. Here in Tsavo, where he lived and
died, this tradition lives on.

Finch
Hattons Camp is located in Tsavo West National Park
which combined with neighboring Tsavo East forms Kenya’s
largest National Park – and one of the largest
in Africa. Its entire ecosystem constitutes 10 million
acres of pure, untouched wilderness, encompassing
open savannah, riverine and montane forests and freshwater
springs.
A dominant feature of Tsavo West is the jet-black
lava outcrop known locally as Sheitani (devil)
Winding through the hills and peppered with caves;
Sheitani is a reminder of the volcanic forces that
brought Tsavo into being. It is this massive scale
that sets Tsavo apart from Kenya’s other National
Parks and Reserves.
Exploring the park from Finch Hattons you will rarely
see another vehicle or any other sign of human presence
as you track game. Finch Hattons Camp is located in
Tsavo West is known for its herds of “red
elephants”, their skins stained by
the ochre dust and mud.
The
park is home to over 12000 elephant – one of
the largest populations in East Africa. Other commonly
seen species include giraffe, zebra, eland, buffalo,
impala, hartebeest, bushbuck, wildebeest and many
more.

camp is Mzima Springs, where a gushing
supply of fresh, crystal clear water has created an
oasis for wildlife. It is home to several pods of

A specially constructed underwater observatory provides
visitors with a unique view into the underwater world
of Mzima.

Samburu, Shaba) or the Indian Ocean beach resorts
