Finch Hattons is located in Tsavo West National Park which combined with neighbouring Tsavo East forms Kenya’s largest National Park – and one of the largest in Africa.
Tsavo National Park's entire ecosystem constitutes 10 million acres of pure, untouched wilderness, encompassing open savannah, riverine and montane forests and freshwater springs.
Finch Hattons camp accommodates up to 50 people in spacious safari “tents” with large “windows”, wooden flooring and a permanent thatched roof. All have en-suite bathrooms, large mirrors, WC, hot and cold running water, showers and are equipped with a fully stocked mini bar, shaver outlets for 110v and 200v and hairdryers.
Finch Hatton's luxury safari tents have either double or twin beds plus period brass lamps, writing desks and Afghan ‘Kilims’
All tents are built on elevated platforms with spectacular views of the surrounding springs and forest. Large wooden decks with a comfortable day bed, chairs and table offer a tranquil and relaxing retreat
Tsavo West is centrally located between Kenya’s Highlands and the beautiful tropical beaches of the coast. It is an ideal safari holiday destination for those also wishing to visit other parks in the region (Tsavo East, Amboseli, Taita Hills, Chyulu), Kenya’s Northern Parks (Aberdares, Samburu, Shaba) or the Indian Ocean beach resorts of Diani, Malindi and Watamu.
Tsavo is known for it’s herds of “red elephants”. Tsavo National park is home to over 12000 elephants – one of the largest populations in East Africa. Other commonly seen species include giraffe, zebra, eland, buffalo, impala, hartebeest, bushbuck, wildebeest and many more.
An easy hour’s drive from the camp is Mzima Springs, home to several pods of hippo, crocodile and shoals of barbell and catfish. A specially constructed underwater observatory provides visitors with a unique view into the underwater world of Mzima.
Morning OR afternoon game drives and nature walks offer the best opportunities for spotting game but also give visitors the chance to witness the stunning African dawn or sunset.
Tsavo in general and Finch Hattons in particular, are ideal for birdwatchers where over 200 species have been recorded.
