Finch
Hatton's lies at the heart of Tsavo West National park, part
of Kenya's single largest game reserve.
The
camp surrounds a natural freshwater
spring, flowing through three crystal clear pools, with tents
along the water's edge
Yellow
barked Acacia Xanthophlea trees surround the tents. It is unfenced
and wild. A wide variety of game has been sighted on the 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.
Crocodiles and a healthy population of terrapins and monitor
lizards also live here, and are often seen sunning themselves
at the waters edge.
Bird life at Finch Hatton's is spectacular, with over 200 locally
recorded species.

well as a fully stocked minibar fridge.
