Finch Hattons

Finch Hattons lies at the heart of Tsavo West National Park - part of Kenya's single largest game Park - in a 35 acre private concession. Privately owned and managed, Finch Hattons offers guests a unique opportunity to relive the golden era of the safari with elegance, first class comforts and the finest cuisine surrounded by the spectacle of the great African wilderness.

Tsavo is known for its herds of 'red elephants', their skins stained by the ochre dust and mud. The Park is home to nearly 12,000 elephants - one of the largest populations in East Africa. Other commonly seen species include giraffe, zebra, eland, buffalo, impala, hartebeest, bushbuck, wildebeest and many more.

The main restaurant of Finch Hattons reflects a bygone era of taste and elegance. In the evening an exquisite dinner is served. Although jackets and ties are excused, gentlemen are requested to wear long trousers.

The comfortable lounge and bar areas are elegantly furnished to create an informal country house atmosphere. The bar is open all day and also services the pool terraces. Indigenous trees surround an elevated swimming pool and shaded deck area where guests can enjoy a refreshing swim or take time to relax between game drives. There is also a Health and Wellness Centre with a spa pool and massage pavillions, and a gym.

The 14 spacious Tented Suites each have a lavish en-suite bathroom complete with 2 outdoor showers, an indoor shower, and a free standing copper bath tub, and an outdoor sitting deck.

The 2 spacious Family Suites have 2 separate en-suite bedrooms, a large viewing deck, and a private lounge area.

The Finch Hattons Suite has a spacious master bedroom, a lounge and dining area, a small kitchen, an extended viewing deck and a private heated plunge pool. Additional services for this Suite include a private chef, butler service and the exclusive use of a safari vehicle.
