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.  The camp offers private, professionally guided safaris and a unique experience unlike any other available in East Africa, complete with breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and authentic immersion in Maasai culture.  We are a long-time leader in the eco-tourism sector and have won many awards, including the Tourism for Tomorrow Award, the Eco-Warrior Award, and the Condènast World Savers Award. Campi Ya Kanzi was the first lodge to receive a Gold Eco-Rating from Ecotourism Kenya, and was recently accredited as a Global Ecosphere Retreat.

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, and take scenic airplane flights. There is also a pool, a hot tub, and professional masseuses.

Thanks to the private location, an intimate experience is guaranteed.  Campi Ya Kanzi is the sole safari camp in an area covering four hundred square miles of wilderness.  The camp accommodates a maximum of twenty-four guests and personally customize every safari experience.  With a Maasai guide and tracker for each outing, they can truly promise an unforgettable safari.

Six luxury tented cottages and two luxury tented suites provide supreme comfort year-round for up to sixteen guests. Full board is included; chefs will delight you with both Italian and African cuisine.

Campi ya Kanzi promotes responsible tourism and gives back to the local community.  Seventy Kenyans are employed, and the business supports their sister non-profit, the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which provides conservation, education, and health services across Kuku Group Ranch.  They also provide a model for sustainable operations through rainwater collection, solar electricity, solar heating, graywater and blackwater recycling, and much more.
