Finch Hattons features 17 elevated tents framed by The Chyulu Hills and Mt Kilimanjaro in the backdrop, with multi-level decks overlooking water holes where thirsty wildlife regularly come to drink up, unintentionally putting on a show for guests.
Fodor's Travel, January 2025A classic safari lodge in one of Kenya’s most noteworthy wildlife areas, Finch Hattons has been impressing guests for more than 30 years, thanks to top-notch guides, excellent game spotting, and plenty of family-friendly amenities, including a Masai Warrior Training program for children.
Travel + Leisure, July 2024Calling them tents is like calling the Taj Mahal a tomb, accurate but misleading. You'll be tempted to skip game drives and stay put on your private deck spotting turtles bubble up, pied kingfishers zipping about and the beady eyes of crocs.
