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.
