Finch Hattons

From: €969

Voted ‘Best tented lodge 2003 & 2004’ by Travel News, Finch Hattons is located in Tsavo West National Park and surrounds a natural fresh water spring. This tented lodge is unfenced allowing for the natural movement of animals into the grounds and surrounding plains. The springs are home to a resident pod of hippopotamus, which spend their days wallowing in the ponds and their nights grazing around the camp. Bird life at Finch Hatton’s is spectacular, with over 200 locally recorded species.

It is highly recommended for a 2 night stay to enjoy the location as well as acting as a base for exploring Tsavo National Park

Itinerary - Duration: 2 nights / 3 days
