AAMS14 Romantic Finch Hattons – 2 Nights
Day 1 Mombasa – Tsavo West (LD)
Drive to Tsavo West which is part of Kenya ’s largest National Park – the land of Denys Finch Hatton fame. Enjoy a game drive in the park, once home to over 50 000 elephants.
Apart from the elephant population there are many lion - some undoubtedly the descendants of the famous Maneaters of Tsavo! Among the less common animals to be found are the fringed-eared oryx, the gerenuk and lesser kudu. The carnivores in addition to lion include serval, hyena, leopard, cheetah and caracal.
Overnight at Finch Hattons Camp.
Finch Hatton's camp offers guests a unique opportunity to relive the golden era of the safari in absolute elegance, 5 star comfort, the finest cuisine surrounded by the spectacle of the great African wilderness.
Day 2 Tsavo West (BLD)
A full day at the camp allows time for morning and afternoon game drives.
The landscape is dominated, especially off the hills by the giant baobab, a tree which is reputed to live a thousand years. After the rains the park is showered with white and pink ipomea, the morning glory family, and the acacia trees are festooned in feathery masses of white and pink blossoms. The desert rose, somewhat like a miniature baobab, produces fuschia-pink flowers of striking beauty at almost any time of the year.
