Denys Finch Hatton, an English aristocrat first traveled to East Africa in 1911 at the age of 24 and immediately fell in love with Kenya.

His great love of the bush and wild animals turned him a dedicated big game hunter.

He had a deep understanding and appreciation of nature, as well as the customs and traditions of the Kenyan people. Denys was to become well known for his refusal to abandon home comforts, culture and cuisine while on safari.

He insisted that his guests dined with fine china and crystal, listened to gramophone recordings of Mozart, and in complete comfort and style he introduced them to his world- the world of the wild.

Finch Hatton became a byword for stylish and successful safaris, and his clientele included many American and European tycoons and aristocrats and in both 1928 and 1930, Britain's Prince of Wales (later Duke of Windsor).

At Finch Hatton's camp we have preserved the ideals that Denys lived for- a dedication to elegance and style combined with a passionate love of the Kenyan wilderness and a long lost way of life.
