Comprising 17 luxury tented guest suites, the camp in the heart of Tsavo West National Park, positioned around a water hole fed by a natural spring from Mount Kilimanjaro, which is home to hippos, crocodiles, terrapins, monitor lizards and over 200 species of birds.
The Mantis Collection property also has views of Mount Kilimanjaro and is in the path of seasonal elephant migrations.
The tented suites have an open plan design, each with an elevated deck, and feature indoor and outdoor showers, double washbasins, flush toilet and bath. There are 14 Luxury Tented Suites, two Luxury Tented Family Suites and one Luxury Presidential Tented Suite.
The camp takes its name from Denys George Finch Hatton, a big-game hunter born in 1887, who first travelled to what was then known as British East Africa in 1911. Finch Hatton invested in the country, hunted and took clients on safaris on which he refused to abandon home comforts, culture and cuisine and insisted that his guests dined with fine china and crystal while listening to gramophone recordings of Mozart. he was featured in the 1985 film Out of Africa, in which Robert Redford played Denys Finch Hatton.
