Overview

Finch Hattons 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 who 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 the camp which is unfenced so the animals come and go as they please.  Bird life at Finch Hattons is spectacular with over 200 locally recorded species.

The camp accommodates up to 50 people in spacious safari “tents” attractively constructed in light beige canvas with large “windows”, wooden flooring and a permanent thatched roof. All have en-suite bathrooms, large mirrors, WC, hot and cold running water and showers and are equipped with a fully stocked mini bar, shaver outlets for 110v and 200v and hairdryers.

The emphasis is on tasteful comfort with either double or twin beds, 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.
