The camp is sited around the springs and poles of a source of the loolturesh River in the heart of Tsavo West, where crocodiles and hippo splash. Named after the aristocrat who introduced royalty to the bush, Finch Hattons Tented Lodge is considered the suavest and most accomplished of Kenyas tented camps: fine bone china, cut crystal glasses , chandeliers, Mozart on a grammophone, impeccable service and food - all in the middle of the bush!

The 35 large tents, along the water's edge, surrounded by Yellow barked Acacia Xanthophlea trees, are most luxurous, with antique commodes, brass lamps and Afghan rugs. All tents have en suite bathrooms, brass fittings, large mirrors, WC, hot and cold running water and showers.

Each tent has a wooden Swahili chest, clothes rack, and antique writing desk and bookshelves. The tents have electricity, hairdryer and battery charger outlet for 220v as well as a fully stocked minibar fridge.

All tents have large deck balconies with panoramic views of the surrounding springs and forests, with chairs, tables and a daybed.

There is an elegantly appointed bar, open all day, a restaurant and a comfortable private lounge. There is an extensive library of books and an excellent range of classic music- including Denys Finch Hatton's favorite selections of Mozart.
