Campi ya Kanzi
Campi ya Kanzi is a small privately owned and run safari lodge located
in the Chyulu Hills. The lodge is part of an eco-tourism joint venture
between the owners and the local Masai people, and has an amazing
location within a private concession on land owned by the local Masai
people. The concession is adjacent to the Tsavo West and Chyulu National
Parks, and the lodge has stunning views down the slopes of the Chyulu
Hills over both Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks to Kilimanjaro.
Accommodation & Facilities
Campi ya Kanzi has six luxurious tents and two larger suites, all built
on wooden decks. Each one has a private verandah from which guests have
superb views of Kilimanjaro and the Tsavo Hills. The accommodation is
built from locally sourced materials including stone and wood, with
tented walls under a thatch roof. All the bathrooms are en-suite, with
full sized baths, hot and cold running water, flush loos, and showers.
The elegant bathroom fittings are all made from brass, and the bed linen
is made from finest quality Italian cotton. There is also a large
private house which sleeps 10 guests, and has its own infinity pool and
Jacuzzi with views of Kilimanjaro.
Wildlife & Activities
At the centre of the camp is Tembo ("elephant") House, a beautifully
constructed bar and dining room with a thatched roof and open sides and a
large veranda. The Campi ya Kanzi concession has more than 50 species
of resident large mammals including elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard,
giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, and waterbuck, and is home to almost 400
bird species. The activities available include game drives in customised
safari vehicles, guided bush walks, visits to the local Masai
communities, tours of Tsavo and Chyulu Hills National Parks, fly camping
and bush meals. More than many other camps, guests at Campi Ya Kanzi
will feel part of, and can witness at first-hand, the work of the
lodge’s own private trust, The Masai Wilderness Conservation Trust,
which has been set up to conserve and protect the Masai wilderness,
wildlife and cultural heritage. The lodge owners, Luca Belpietro and
Antonella Bonomi, are passionate about the empowerment of the local
community and encourage guests to take an interest in the trust and its
work.
