Drawing from the vibrant flavours of Tsavo and beyond, our chefs create inspired dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients: from home-grown fruits and organic vegetables to grass-fed beef and freshly-caught seafood from the Kenyan coast. Every plate is a tribute to the region’s bounty, served with elegance and authenticity in the heart of the wild.
Things to do
Tsavo National Park, one of Africa’s largest wildlife reserves at 2.28 million acres, is a land of breathtaking contrasts, where epic safari encounters meet ancient geological marvels.
Beyond the iconic Big Five, explore the Jurassic-era granite peaks of the Yatta Plateau, the world’s longest lava flow, and the surreal beauty of the Shetani Lava Flow, Africa’s youngest volcanic landscape. Hike through the misty Chyulu Cloud Forest, teeming with rare flora and fauna, or immerse yourself in centuries-old culture with a visit to a traditional Maasai manyatta (homestead).
Tsavo offers an unforgettable blend of wildlife, wilderness, and cultural heritage; a true adventure for the curious traveller.

From Tsavo West to the Maasai Mara
Why choose one safari when you can experience two? Begin at Finch Hattons in Tsavo West National Park, where ancient cloud forests, volcanic landscapes and sweeping views of Mount Kilimanjaro set the scene for an unforgettable adventure. Then continue to Mahali Mzuri in the Maasai Mara, where sunrise game drives bring you face to face with lion, elephant and the wildlife that roams these legendary plains.
From hiking through lush forests fed by natural springs to floating above the Mara in a hot air balloon at dawn, each camp offers its own unforgettable perspective on Kenya's wild beauty. Together, they make for one extraordinary safari, twice the adventure.
