Experience the ultimate luxury safari in Kenya

by Virgin Limited Edition

Picture this: bouncing across golden plains on an early morning game drive, tracking lion and elephant as the Maasai Mara wakes up around you. Or this: dawn breaking over the volcanic peaks of the Chyulu Hills, with Mt. Kilimanjaro rising on the horizon.

You don't have to choose. With not one but two unique, luxury tented camps -  Mahali Mzuri in the world-famous Maasai Mara ecosystem, and Finch Hattons in the dramatic beauty of Tsavo West National Park -  your Kenya safari becomes two adventures in one.

At Finch Hattons, hike through ancient rainforest fed by crystal-clear natural springs, and explore a landscape shaped by lava flows, all with Kilimanjaro standing sentinel in the distance. At Mahali Mzuri, rise before dawn for a hot air balloon safari over the Mara, then spend your days weaving through the bush on game drives, tracking the wildlife that calls this land home.

Two ecosystems, two extraordinary stories and one unforgettable journey into the heart of Africa.

Mahali Mzuri

The wild, up close 

Perched high above a lush valley in the exclusive Olare Motorogi Conservancy within the Maasai Mara ecosystem, Mahali Mzuri is a newly refurbished camp of just 12 luxury tents, offering an intimate, front-row seat to the wild.

Set out on thrilling twice-daily game drives in search of lion, leopard and elephant, then return to unforgettable dining under the African sky. Watch the wilderness unfold from your own private viewing deck, where the wildlife comes to you,  no binoculars required. Unwind with a rejuvenating spa treatment, and step into the rich traditions of Maasai culture for an experience that goes far beyond the safari itself.

Some places are a stop on a safari, Mahali Mzuri is the reason for one.

Finch Hattons

A landscape written by fire and water  

Set at the foot of the scenic Chyulu Hills in Tsavo - Kenya's oldest and largest national park - Finch Hattons sits on 35 acres of pristine wilderness, fed by natural water springs and framed by spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. This 17-tented safari camp was voted one of Travel + Leisure's 500 Best Hotels 2025.

Hike into the mysterious cloud forest of the Chyulu Hills, marvel at the dramatic Shetani lava flow, and track the majestic red elephants of Tsavo across the plains. Back at camp, sink into total relaxation at the award-winning Chyulu Spa, where treatments are inspired by the natural springs and wild landscape surrounding you. As night falls, dine under a blazing African sky,  a fitting end to a day spent immersed in the wild.

Finch Hattons has a way of changing how you see Africa, and once it does, nothing quite compares.

Two iconic camps, one extraordinary journey

Base yourself at either Finch Hattons or Mahali Mzuri for four nights or more, and we'll treat you to a complimentary night at the other camp, on us.

Either way, you're not choosing between two incredible safaris, you're getting both.

Two worlds, one seamless safari experience: Kenya's wild side, seen from every angle

Jaw-dropping wildlife

No two game drives are ever the same, and that's the magic of it. At Mahali Mzuri and Finch Hattons, the wild reveals itself differently every time: a lioness stalking through golden grass, a journey of giraffe silhouetted against the sunset, an elephant herd crossing your path at dawn.

Set out twice daily with our expert guides, tracking wildebeest, elephants, zebra, lions, leopards, cheetah, giraffe, impala and gazelle, and that's just for starters. Every drive brings its own story, its own surprises, and views so dramatic you'll want to remember every second.

Go beyond safari

There's so much more to a stay at Finch Hattons or Mahali Mzuri than the game drives alone. At Finch Hattons, uncover Tsavo's geological wonders, from Jurassic-age granite monoliths rising from the plains to hikes through the mystical cloud forest of the Chyulu Hills, where every trail reveals something unexpected.

At Mahali Mzuri, rise before dawn and drift above the Mara in a hot air balloon, watching the sun break over the plains in a truly magical way to see the landscape below, a perspective few ever get to experience.

Embrace Maasai culture

Step into the storied traditions of the Maasai with an in-depth community tour, gaining rare insight into a culture as rich and enduring as the land itself. Test your aim with a spear-throwing lesson, and learn the essential wilderness skills passed down through generations of Maasai warriors.

For a truly sensory adventure at Mahali Mzuri, walk alongside a Maasai warrior guide through the bush, reading footprints in the dust, identifying medicinal plants, and learning to track the wild as those who know this land best have done for centuries.
