Overview
Discover iconic Tsavo National Park - Situated in Kenya’s south-west, Tsavo is an enormous wilderness area that has been divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks.
Combined, Tsavo is Kenya’s biggest park and, at 22,000 km² (13,671 miles), one of the world’s largest game sanctuaries.
It is particularly well known for its large herds of elephants and captivating landscapes. Tsavo is one of the less populated game areas in Kenya and is perfect for those who want to enjoy a pristine wildlife experience.
A highlight of Tsavo National Park is the spectacular Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear water flows through volcanic rock.
Finch Hattons is a luxury tented safari camp that combines its love for Tsavo with world-class facilities. The camp is completely isolated, so much so that you would be forgiven for forgetting that the rest of the world exists at all. In this place, it’s just you, the vast and varied terrain that stretches in every direction, and the many beasts and birds that call it home.

Experiences
Game Drives
Most people tend to forget about Tsavo and why it is amongst the top pick of many experienced safari guides. Being Kenya's largest game park and with so few lodges in the area, you will soon understand why. The park is amongst the most iconic in Kenya with its diverse landscapes and is rich history.
While the best game viewing is generally in the coolness of the early mornings or late afternoons, you are free to decide how long and when you would like to set out for your game drive.
Using only open-sided vehicles, you can experience the quintessential African landscape and the wide range of birds and flora & fauna that thrive in the surrounding area.
Night Game Drives
Head into the park after sunset for a chance to discover some of the more nocturnal species of Tsavo. Setting off after dark offers another adventure as you explore the vastness of the park by moonlight and experience the night sounds of the bush.
Chyulu Sundowners
Settle down at the foot of the Chyulu Hills in time for cocktails and canapés as the sun sets over Tsavo with Mt Kilimanjaro in the backdrop. This is truly one of the best ways to end the day before heading back to camp.
Guided Bush Walks & Hikes
Get a little more up-close and personal with the park's flora and fauna on a guided nature walk. You will be accompanied by an experienced guide and armed ranger who will be happy to share their vast knowledge of how nature lives and thrives in Tsavo.
Among our favourite hiking locations is the Chyulu Hills Forest. The gentle gradient of the forest is more comfortable to the novice hiker and provides a haven from which to explore the several species of bids, plants and wildlife that inhabit the area.
Chyulu Spa and Wellness Centre
Who says going on safari means you can't indulge your mind, body and spirit all at once? The Chyulu Spa and Wellness Centre offers a wide range of treatments and therapies using the finest Africology products.
The spa also features a secondary swimming pool, a hamam, a small gym and an elevated yoga deck from which you can continue to spot game during your practice.
Cultural Visits
Iltilal is the closest village to Finch Hattons and home to a large Maasai community. We have developed a close relationship with the village and can easily organise cultural visits here for a chance to gain some insight into their daily way of life.
The Maasai are a very welcoming tribe and are always happy to invite you into their homes for a closer glimpse into their lifestyle.
