Finch Hattons, the luxury safari camp from Virgin Limited Edition in Kenya, has introduced five new guided walking safaris in Tsavo National Park, Kenya’s oldest and largest national park. Set across a 35-acre site, the camp features luxury tented suites with sweeping views of the Chyulu Hills and Mount Kilimanjaro, and natural springs that attract local wildlife.

The tents vary in size and bedroom count and include private elevated decks, indoor and outdoor showers, and free-standing copper bathtubs. The Finch Hattons Suite elevates the experience further, offering a butler, bodyguard and a private game drive vehicle with a dedicated guide. Interiors reflect the surrounding landscape and local culture through considered colors, textures and finishes.
Each new walking route is led by expert guides, including local guides with intimate knowledge of the terrain, wildlife and seasonal patterns. For early risers, the Chyulu Sunrise Hike departs around 4 a.m. and climbs to a vantage point above the Chyulu Cloud Forests, where guests can enjoy breakfast while scanning for buffalo, giraffes and leopards.

The Bush Walk offers an immersive, close-up encounter with the local environment. Guests are accompanied by a professional guide and an armed ranger from the Kenya Wildlife Service, who provide context on animal behavior, landscape features and basic tracking techniques. The Chyulu Rainforest Hike follows shaded paths through orchards and ancient forest stands, where moss-draped branches create a cool, verdant atmosphere.
For a more demanding challenge, the Ol Doinyo Ololarami Hike ascends to the rim of a dormant volcano, rewarding hikers with broad views across Tsavo’s distinctive wilderness. For those seeking a gentler experience, the Camp Safari Walk is a complimentary guided stroll from camp that highlights local birdlife, insects, medicinal plants and fresh animal tracks, offering an accessible introduction to the park’s ecology.
These walking safaris are designed to deepen guests’ connection with the landscape while showcasing Tsavo’s biodiversity on foot. With knowledgeable guides, varied routes and options suited to different fitness levels, Finch Hattons’ new offerings expand the ways visitors can experience one of Kenya’s most iconic parks.
