Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I fully enjoyed the experience with game drives, the spa with a very professional massage and beautiful yoga shala, wonderful food ,a luxurious tent and very supportive management and staff. Nature in Tsavo is amazing and the location can not be better. I am doing solo safaris in Africa since 40 years and highly recommend this place as one of the top. I hope to be able to get back with some friends.

Even before our due arrival date we experienced the excellent service this place provides. We flew in to Finch Hattons Airstrip from Wilson Airport. Due to the wording on the itinerary our driver was given he was waiting at Kilaguni Airstrip as we were saying 3 nights at Kilaguni Lodge (we fully understood his thinking). Clearly some communications took place and the Camp Manager Jonathan arranged for one of their vehicles to be at the airstrip to pick us up and take us back to Finch Hattons camp. We had the use of facilities, pots of tea provided, and we could walk around the grounds a bit. This was all before they realised that after Kilaguni we were coming back here. Another vehicle was orgainised, with the driver/guide we would be allocated when we actually stayed. He drove us, with in effect a game drive, towards Kilaguni to meet our other driver. All in all a very nice introduction to the camp. So some days later we returned. We arrived quite early, c.0900, but there were not many guests and our tent was ready. We were given a briefing and an orientation of the camp, including the pool and spar, before being taken to our room. The claim is luxury and that is certainly the case. There is a lockable door at the front. Inside a very large double bed. There is a well stocked mini bar with tea and coffee if you want it. Plus a desk with lighting. Up a couple of steps, behind the bed are two wash basins, plus a loo at one side and an indoor shower at the other. Doors either side lead out to two open air showers. At the front is a wooden decking area with cushioned seating and a view over the small lake. We could see the balcony of one other suite from here and that is all. Once it is dark you are escorted to and from your tent. There are no fences around the camp and animals can come and go at their will. Meals are served in the open-air restaurant. During our stay all were served at the table with only cereal etc at breakfast in the form of a buffet style. Service at meal times was exemplary and very friendly as well. The food was superb throughout. The meal etc on our first night (it was an anniversary and birthday trip) was in a private roof area and was just magnificent. We had a small audience of Bush Babys to accompany this. Tea/Coffee and biscuits are brought to your tent in the morning at an agreed time. These are served though a slat in the tent so not to be left outside to tempt monkeys. From then on it will depend on what activities you have arranged. On our “first” morning we went on an early morning game drive and then treated to a bush breakfast, just the two of us. A splendid spread inc a chef to cook eggs etc, also included a bottle of sparkling wine. On arrival before our actual stay we were warned about monkeys, green vervet, trying to get in to rooms. That said we saw very few and none were pests, keeping their distance and we had none anywhere near our room, this may have been due to the rains and long grass around us. Just don’t feed them and keep doors closed particularly if you are not there. Our main regret it not staying longer. No matter how long you stay, take an extra night so you can just stay at the camp and enjoy the facilities and ambiance for a day. As mentioned the staff are just superb, friendly, accommodating and making sure everything is to your satisfaction. These goes throughout the organisation and we just cannot wait to get back here.

Our visit to Finch Hattons was top notch. The accommodations were excellent, the staff was professional, and the food was superb. It is certainly the best safari lodge we have ever visited. But it was their action after we left that was above and beyond. About 20 km out, we had a wheel problem on the rough road north of Chyulu Gate. We called Jonathon who swung into action, dispatching a crew to collect our broken wheel and spare, bring them back to FH to repair, and then return to us to remount the wheel on our vehicle. And, on true FH fashion, the crew also brought hot tea and coffee, biscuits, and ice water to refresh us as they remounted our wheel. Just picture us holding teacups and saucers alongside this rutted dirt road! The Finch Hattons crew were lifesavers with style.

The camp is fantastic, the cuisine is the best I've had in any camp or lodge in all of Kenya or Tanzania, but its their people there that make all the difference, and made our trip amazing. Being able to get out on foot, study tracks, listen to birds and learn so much so nearby camp is fantastic.

Suffolk, United Kingdom5 contributions1 helpful vote
We had a truly breathtaking stay at Finch Hattons. After an inauspicious start (miscommunication within their booking team meant the camp were expecting us one day later and so nobody was there to meet us when we arrived at the station!), the care, thoughtfulness and attention to detail were faultless. The property is beautiful, the “tents” luxurious and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were everywhere and amazingly attentive without being intrusive, which is such an art. We were made to feel so welcome - like honoured houseguests more than paying customers - certainly helped by the (almost totally) all-inclusive approach. The food was world class and the various dining locations all lovely. The pool was great and the table football appreciated by teenagers. The game drives were (of course) the main reason for being there and they didn’t disappoint. Our guide was first class and the extra touches like sundowners and bush breakfast were the icing on the cake. Overall, not cheap and not faultless, but world class and excellent value. The way they dealt with not being there to pick us up couldn’t have been better. We made some memories that will last a lifetime.

The surroundings were just heaven - lush green vegetation, plenty of different birds as well as other wildlife (waterbuck, bushbuck, vervet monkeys, crocodiles, hippos…); (safely) right at your doorstep. The safari game drives were just great, varied with very interesting facts and learning! The food made by Chef Sammy and his team was just delicious - from start to finish. The accommodation luxurious, comfortable, well designed. And last but definitely not least: the staff were all amazing - welcoming, friendly, helpful and professional. I can only highly recommend this location. Consider flying from Nairobi Wilson to Tsavo Finch Hattons, their own airstrip!

The lodge is everything and much more that it promises on Social media! The staff is amazing, attentive, without being invasive of private space. Food is of highest quality. The spa was great, staff and treatments. The safari guides are knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to make the experience memorable. Everything is working, everything is clean. Bed is perfect and the pillows are fluffy :)
