Tsavo West National Park Finch Hattons is located in Tsavo West National Park which combined with neighbouring Tsavo East forms Kenya’s largest National Park – and one of the largest in Africa. It’s entire ecosystem constitutes 10 million acres of pure, untouched wilderness, encompassing open savannah, riverine and montane forests and freshwater springs.  A dominant feature of Tsavo West is the jet-black lava outcrop known locally as Sheitani (devil)  Winding through the hills and peppered with caves, Sheitani is a reminder of the volcanic forces that brought Tsavo into being.It is this massive scale that sets Tsavo apart from Kenya’s other National Parks and Reserves.  Exploring the park from Finch Hattons you will rarely see another vehicle or any other sign of human presence as you track game. Tsavo is known for it’s herds of “red elephants”, their skins stained by the ochre dust and mud.  The park is home to over 12000 elephant – one of the largest populations in East Africa.  Other commonly seen species include giraffe, zebra, eland, buffalo, impala, hartebeest, bushbuck, wildebeest and many more. An easy hour’s drive from the camp is Mzima Springs, where a gushing supply of fresh, crystal clear water has created an oasis for wildlife.  It is home to several pods of hippo, crocodile and shoals of barbell and catfish.  A specially constructed underwater observatory provides visitors with a unique view into the underwater world of Mzima. The best time to see game around Finch Hattons is early morning and late afternoon.  Our morning and afternoon game drives and nature walks offer the best opportunities for spotting game but also give visitors the chance to witness the stunning African dawn or sunset.Tsavo in general and Finch Hattons in particular, are ideal for birdwatchers where over 200 species have been recorded. Tsavo West is centrally located between Kenya’s Highlands and the beautiful tropical beaches of the coast.  It is an ideal safari destination for those also wishing to visit other parks in the region (Tsavo East, Amboseli, Taita Hills, Chyulu), Kenya’s Northern Parks (Aberdares, Samburu, Shaba) or the Indian Ocean beach resorts of Diani, Malindi and Watamu.
