Moonlight Tours Expedition – Finch Hattons: A Luxurious Safari Retreat in Tsavo National Park

Nestled elegantly around a bustling waterhole, fed by a freshwater spring sourced from the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, Finch Hattons offers an extraordinary level of luxury in the heart of Kenya’s Tsavo National Park. With just 17 exclusive suites, including two family tents and a presidential suite, the lodge ensures the highest level of personalized service and exceptional attention to detail for each guest, all set against the dramatic backdrop of Africa’s wild beauty.

Named after Denys Finch Hatton, the early 20th-century adventurer and lover of Karen Blixen, Finch Hatton combines modern design aesthetics with the grandeur and elegance of safari’s early days. The lodge’s interiors are a sophisticated mix of muted tones, leather, wood, and steel, complemented by artifacts that pay homage to Denys and Karen’s safari legacy. Guests can enjoy unparalleled views of the waterhole and the sweeping Chyulu Hills, creating an idyllic setting for a safari like no other.
