Award-Winning Oasis
The Denys Finch Hatton’s Story
In honour of our history and heritage, our camp pays tribute to the famed hunter and guide, Denys Finch Hattons, whose penchant for extravagance pioneered the term “luxury safari” in Kenya in the early 1900’s.
As the son of an Earl, Denys was no stranger to the fineries of aristocratic living and believed that his guests should enjoy the same level of luxury comfort whilst touring on safari. Guests from around the world became accustomed to Denys’ hospitality after a hard day’s safari, enjoying an endless sea of champagne and fine wines, exquisite dining experiences, lavish tented suites and the eponymous musical stylings of Mozart in the bush.
In his later years, Denys Finch Hattons turned his focus to conservation playing a pivotal role in the formation of over 50 National Parks in East Africa including the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
Inspired by Legacy and Luxury
Honouring the past while embracing the future of top-end safari tourism
When our camp was established in 1993, The Gehlot family and renowned hotelier, Peter Frank, looked to emulate the glamour and hospitable ambience associated with the early 1920’s. Inspired by Denys Finch Hattons’ penchant for luxury, our camp spared no expense at reimagining the romance, the mystery and the adventure of a historical luxury safari experience.
Our wonderful team of people and our celebrated attention to detail forms the foundation that truly captures the grandeur of Denys Finch Hattons’ glory days. From exquisite fine dining experiences served on delicate china and traditional crystal champagne flutes, to the brass plated gramophones and telescopes located throughout the 17 luxuriously appointed tented suites, our top-end safari camp lives to exceed all expectations with outstanding service.
Our commitment to providing timeless safari experiences in the wild through Finch Hattons has been recognized with numerous awards, including the prestigious Best New Safari Camp award from Architectural Digest.
