My wife and I visited FH in May of last year. The staff are out of this world, catered to our every need for the duration of the stay. We did not have a chance to go for the game drives, but the pool provided us with a chance to lap in the luxury of the place. The 7 course... More

We arrived in Kenya with little idea of what our hosts had organised, first destination Tsavo park and the serene camp Finch Hattons. If there was ever a way to immerse yourself into an African adventure, Finch Hattons is the place to go. Set next to 3 ponds in the middle of Tsavo park, these luxury safari tents over look... More

We visited before the renovation shutdown (1st March-1st December) as a family of four (boys aged 10 & 13) and had an AMAZING time. The tents were beautifully arranged with a real 1920s feel with the furniture and lamps. the beds were comfortable and the showers lovely. We were happy to accept that it might take a couple of minutes... More

This was a beautiful resort, incredible food, lovely staff, and of course spectacular wildlife. And we were there in the summer rainy season -- it was still perfect. I recommend it without hesitation.

We arrived at Finch Hattons with very high hopes and were not disappointed by the completely idyllic location, the utterly charming and helpful staff and the food. It is the most beautiful and peaceful place with wonderful bird life, hippos, crocs and giraffes right outside your tent. We loved the sight of one hippo being used by an egret as... More

The drive to Finch Hattons from the Mtito Andei gate was quite long and tiring and kept thinking that the trip had better be worth it. We saw a few giraffes, antelopes and wildebeast on the way which added a nice touch. We arrived at around 5 p.m and were warmly received by William and Robert with a cool towel... More

They have 31 tents along 3 ponds in the Finch Hattons. But the best thing indeed is the excellent service, all the staff at its best! We felt like King and Queen. My husband and I were the only guests but the breakfast buffet offered all the choices (including a view of the Kilimanjaro without clouds), and for dinner all... More

I think the best thing about FH is how the staff made you feel welcome from the minute they picked you up at the nearby airstrip. Jonathan, the manager was so warm and animated in his story telling. The dining staff took an interest in us- whether offering us seconds of soup (delicious) or alerting us as to when the... More

We stayed 2 nights with our 2 boys aged 10 and 12 and really enjoyed it although it is very expensive so more of a special experience than a regular place that we'll go. Its amazing to stay in a tent overlooking the lake with lots of hippos and crocs - we had several crocs right below our deck and... More
