Campi ya Kanzi is located in 280,000 acres private Maasai Reserve in the Chyulu Hills, South East Kenya overlooking Mount Kilimanjaro and bordering Tsavo West, Chyulu and Amboseli National Parks.
Campi ya Kanzi style:19th Century ambience with 21st Century comfort. Luxury tented lodge built to maximum ecological
standards.
Campi ya Kanzi (Camp of the hidden treasure) is a community project with the local Maasai on their Group Ranch of 400-
square-miles. The altitude of the ranch ranges from 3,000 to 6,900 feet (1,000 to 2,300 metres), so the land includes a
number of different environments from the grasslands of the savannah to green river woodlands to cool mountain forests.
The volcanic Chyulu Hills flank the property.
The camp is centred around Tembo House, which is constructed of local materials such as lava rocks and grass for the
roof, collected locally with high respect for the environment. Tembo House is an open plan dining/living room with a huge
vista to many different views. Italian and Maasai décor are tastefully combined.
The cook has been trained in the preparation of fine Italian cuisine, which is featured along with international and local
dishes. All pasta, bread, biscuits and ice creams are homemade. Fresh vegetables are supplied daily from a small vegetable garden watered by recycled water. The garden is both biological and biodynamic.
Campi ya Kanzi lays in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Chyulu Hills are the Green Hills of Africa so much loved
by Hemingway.

Kanzi House
Kanzi House provides the most luxurious private experience, while letting guests contribute significantly to the Trust (staying at Kanzi House attracts a f$200 daily conservation fee per person).
With room for up to 10 guests, this is one of the very few private safaris villas that you can rent in Kenya.
In this exclusive, high-end rental your guests will enjoy private dining, private swimming pool/jacuzzi and private safaris with Samson Parashina as their guide and with their own personal Maasai tracker.
Featuring 3 doubles rooms, 2 twin rooms, a 60 ft swimming pool with pool cottage, a Jacuzzi for four, dedicated chef, dedicated vehicles, and dedicated guide, it is booked in exclusivity, for a minimum of 3 nights at $6,900 per night.
It makes a great alternative to end a safari at the Coast: relaxation, without renouncing to go on safari and be surrounded by wilderness, wildlife and culture.
The house is completely separated from Campi ya Kanzi and has exclusive use of the swimming pool and of the jacuzzi.
To enjoy this luxury in the wilderness we ask guests for a double conservation fee: $200 per person per day. It is a great way to contribute to conservation.
Over and above the big game and plains game the area offers many rare and interesting species such as the wild dog, fringe eared oryx, lesser kudu, gerenuk, black rhino and cheetah. There are more than 400 bird species on the Ranch.
