Finch Hattons Luxury Tented Camp

Where to begin with Finch Hattons? This lodge is the nicest place I have ever stayed and, as an avid traveler and adventurer, I have stayed in hundreds of places. I cannot wait to return here. Jonathan, the General Manager, has put together an exquisite team, who’s constant attention to detail, while always being courteous, friendly, efficient and professional, is beyond equal, in my experience. The whole experience oozes understated luxury, and one is left wanting for nothing, but all the while with huge focus on sustainability and conservation. After 3 days here, my wife and I felt like we were leaving our family, and we were so sad to depart. Exquisite food, great pool and spa, beautiful accommodation, and exceptional eco / game viewing experience with Evans, our personal guide. We had 3 nights here, as part of an amazing 2 week Kenyan holiday that also included Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara. We plan to return to Kenya next year but will only be visiting Finch Hattons.

A remarkable experience in every sense and a very cool alternative take on the Kenyan safari. Loved the location near the Chyulu Hills in Tsavo West National Park — so many different ecosystems to explore. To combine the traditional game drive (on road, low impact) with experiences that involved the vehicle behind for hikes through cloud forests and around volcanic craters — such a cool opportunity. The atmosphere was all about modern comfort while also feeling fully of a place. The rooms were beautiful and well appointed, loved the bath tub and outdoor shower, the separate wardrobes, dual sink, maxi-bar, privacy... and our view of the pond and birds was unbeatable. Rooms were of course clean, somehow free of creepy crawlies, peaceful (if you find exotic boisterous wildlife noises peaceful, which we definitely did). The service was incredibly attentive but not overbearing — so personal in a wonderful way.

If we could give you more than 5 stars - we would! What a truly magical experience at Finch Hattons. There were 27 of us - children and adults, but each and every one of us loved our stay. From the incredible service, food, experiences, accommodation, game drives, hill walks and visit to the Maasai Village - wow! All of the team work incredibly hard but a few mentions to some of those we met during our stay: Isaac - the children loved him, from the activities he planned, the football and table tennis he played, to his incredible game drives and Maasai Village Trip. Victor for his attentiveness around the pool. Joseph, Julius and all of the restaurant staff for their patience and hard work every mealtime. Jonathan and Moses for their planning and execution of the whole trip. Every bit of this trip has been truly memorable and we are so thankful to the Finch Hattons team for this special holiday.

Everything about this camp was amazing. The location, the staff, the food, and the wellness facilities were all incredible. We really like to move when on holidays, so we did not want to do a safari that involved doing game drives all day long. Finch Hatton provided yoga classes every day, and a gym with treadmill, bike and weights. We also did two different guided hikes nearby, which were beautiful. We can't wait to go back!!

This place is so different compared to many luxury camps it’s unique and beautiful with great views ,chances to see lesser kudu is high

One of the best experiences of my life. This is a rare property in a stunning location. The attention to detail and service were exceptional.

Exceptional, truly magical. We were greeted and treated like royalty from start to finish. Hats off to Julius for exceptional service; to Jeremy for his knowledgable game drives and efforts to spot the leopard and to Jonathan the manager for going above and beyond. Esma and I had an unforgettable experience and we will be back.

Absolutely beautiful experience - I would highly recommend to anyone going on safari. This was our first and it was truly perfect from start to finish.

Finch Hattons was outstanding. Every single person we interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely cared — zero letdown from shift to shift and department to department. Special shoutout to Newton (we were told he’s an intern/in training). The kid has a beautiful soul and already represents the brand incredibly well. And Evan… off-the-charts knowledge. The game drives were way more than “go see animals.” Evan brought the bush to life — explaining the interactions, hierarchies, social dynamics, and environmental variables in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand. Evan + Newton were an unforgettable team and made the whole experience truly special. If you’re considering Finch Hattons, do it. We’ll be back.
