What awards & Acclaims have they received?

World Travel Awards 2024 — Africa’s Leading Tented Safari Camp

Finch Hattons Safari Camp has been repeatedly recognised by the World Travel Awards, most recently as Africa’s Leading Tented Safari Camp in 2024. The award suits its place in the Kenya portfolio: a polished Tsavo camp with old-safari atmosphere, serious comfort and a setting around springs, Chyulu views and Kilimanjaro light.

Location

Tsavo, Kenya

Finch Hattons Safari Camp sits in Tsavo Ecosystem, Kenya, within Tsavo’s lava, spring and elephant country. With front row views of the Chyulu Hills Finch Hattons is set in 35 acres of untouched wilderness. The setting keeps the stay grounded in the surrounding landscape, with wildlife, light and distance shaping the sense of place before each day’s safari begins.

From the UK, most trips route through Nairobi, then continue by light aircraft or road depending on distance and itinerary style.

For luxury safaris, flying between parks usually preserves more time in the bush, while road transfers can work well on shorter circuits or budget-sensitive trips.

Perfect for The Conservationist & The Connector

Finch Hattons Safari Camp speaks first to The Conservationist travellers through conservation purpose, habitat protection, and the visible work behind the wilderness. The Connector adds human connection, community context, and the people behind conservation. Together, the fit is less about ticking off features and more about matching the lodge to the traveller’s deeper safari rhythm.
