Campi ya Kanzi, Chyulu Hills

In the Chyulu Hills of southern Kenya, you’ll find Campi ya Kanzi tucked away in a spectacular Maasai-owned game reserve.

Built and run in partnership with the local Maasai community, this tranquil eco-lodge has access to some 280,000 acres of pristine private wilderness. Crafted from canvas, wood and stone, its tented cottages have an authentic safari feel and impressive views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the Tsavo Hills and the Chyulu Hills. Hearty Italian and Kenyan dishes are served in the cosy dining area at the heart of camp, which is open to the incredible landscapes. The sitting room overlooks a nearby waterhole, and is the perfect spot to spy on passing game.

From Campi ya Kanzi, you will set out with a Maasai guide to experience the thrill of tracking big game on foot. You’ll learn to track spoor, read footprints and get up close to wildlife in their natural habitat. You’ll also wander through rich green cloud forests, dine deep in the bush, stargaze and picnic in the Chyulu Hills.
