What makes Finch Hattons special?
- It's well awarded - Voted Best New Safari Camp by Architectural Digest, Finch Hattons offers tailor-made service in the heart of the African wilderness. Boasting the title of the only luxury camp in Tsavo West, take in the incredible views of the vistas that surround it in all directions.
- It's been recently refurbished - Carefully re-designed to maximise the chances of viewing the resident animals, stand on one of their many viewing decks looking out over the vast vistas and try to spot hippos and elephants. Enjoy breakfast in an open pavilion in view of the famous Mount Kilimanjaro.
- It's reminiscent of the golden days - The decor of each tent recalls the golden days of African safaris - copper bathtubs, creamy linen, gentle lighting, vintage carpets and intricately engraved furnishing - Finch Hattons has all you would expect from a first-class lodge.
