Campi ya Kanzi

Campi ya Kanzi (Swahili for "Camp of the Hidden Treasure") is a luxury eco-tourism safari camp located in the Chyulu Hills of southeast Kenya near Tsavo West National Park. Unlike many other lodges in East Africa, at Campi ya Kanzi you are hosted by the founders which we think makes your experience that extra bit special.

Campi ya Kanzi - out of the vehicle & out of the ordinary

The camp offers private, professionally guided safaris and a unique experience unlike any other available in East Africa. Enjoy breathtaking landscapes, views of Kilimanjaro, abundant wildlife, and authentic immersion in Masai culture. Campi ya Kanzi has been a long-time leader in the eco-tourism sector. It has won many awards, including the Tourism for Tomorrow Award, the Eco-Warrior Award, and the Condè Nast World Savers Award. Campi ya Kanzi were the first lodge to receive a Gold Eco-Rating from Ecotourism Kenya, and was recently accredited as a Global Ecosphere Retreat.

Activities

Campi ya Kanzi stands out among local safari camps because guests can walk and hike alongside wildlife instead of staying confined to a vehicle - truly a rarity in Africa. The camp is near national parks but not in them, so guests can enjoy all the wildlife of the parks without any of the restrictions. In addition to hiking and traditional game drives, guests can also ride horses, go mountain biking, and take scenic airplane flights. There is also a pool, hot tub, and professional masseuses available for your relaxation.

Location of Campi ya Kanzi

Thanks to its private location, an intimate experience is guaranteed. This is the only camp in an area covering four hundred square miles of wilderness. With a Masai guide and tracker for each outing, you can be assured of an unforgettable safari.

There are six luxury tented cottages and two luxury tented suites providing supreme comfort year-round for up to sixteen guests. The private Kanzi House can be booked exclusively to accommodate up to eight people.

Community

Campi ya Kanzi promotes responsible tourism and gives back to the local community. The lodge employs seventy Kenyans and the business supports their sister non-profit, the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust. This provides conservation, education, and health services across the Kuku Group Ranch. Campi ya Kanzi also provides sustainable operations through rainwater collection, solar electricity, solar heating, graywater and blackwater recycling, and much more.
