The Lodge

Campi ya Kanzi

Nestled in Kenya's Chyulu Hills, Campi ya Kanzi is a celebrated eco-lodge, famously referenced in Ernest Hemingway's "Green Hills of Africa." For 20+ years, it's been the sole luxury safari lodge in a sprawling 375,000-acre Maasai-owned reserve. The volcanic peaks of Chyulu Hills are swathed in lush cloud forests, harboring a diverse range of flora, fauna, and captivating wildlife. This Maasai sanctuary boasts zebras, giraffes, antelopes, as well as apex predators like lions and leopards, promising exceptional game viewing. Campi ya Kanzi not only offers a glimpse of pristine nature but also honors Maasai heritage, making it a harmonious blend of cultural and ecological marvels.
