Campi Ya Kanzi means “Camp
of the hidden treasure” in Kiswahili
and it is truly that. The camp is located
on a Masai ranch that covers an area of a
quarter of a million acres, with fantastic
biodiversity stretching from the Chyulu Hills
to the foothills of majestic Kilimanjaro.
The ranch is surrounded by the Chyulus, Tsavo
and Amboseli National Parks.
Guests can view game on
foot with an experienced local Masai guide,
or in four wheel drive vehicles. Luca and
Antonella and their excellent staff offer
an authentic safari experience that makes
you feel as if you have stepped back in time.
Luca grew up hunting in East Africa with his
father for many years and now has turned his
focus towards conservation. He and Antonella
offer excellent Italian, European, and African
cuisine as well as some of the warmest hospitality
in all of Africa.
This huge ranch allows for
you to go days without seeing another tourist.
The animals are still wild and hesitant of
man. This is nature at its best. The backdrop
of the imposing Mt. Kilimanjaro provides a
breathtaking view in this gorgeous country.
Accommodations are in permanent
tents built on wooden platforms with thatched
roofs. Each tent has en suite permanent bathrooms
as well as a wooden verandah overlooking the
Tsavo Hills and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Paraffin
lamps provide light in order to give the real
atmosphere of the earlier grand African safari.
