Campi ya Kanzi - "Camp of the Hidden Treasure" This
eco-friendly lodge lies on the slopes of Kenya's Chyulu Hills (Ernest
Hemingway's Green Hills of Africa), which look toward majestic Mount
Kilimanjaro. Campi ya Kanzi is the most-awarded eco-lodge in East
Africa and was chosen as one of the 50 Best Eco-Lodges in the World
by National Geographic. It is built from local materials and uses
solar technology to supply hot water and electricity to its six luxury
tented cottages, two tented suites, and one guest house.
The camp is
located on a 400-square mile Maasai Reserve with many different
environments, resulting in a great array of wildlife. Beside the famous
Big Five (elephant, rhino, leopard, lion, and buffalo), many other
uncommon animals are present, including cheetah, wild dog, and lesser
kudu. In addition to the classic game drives, a game walk with your
professional Maasai guide and Maasai tracker will be the highlight of
your safari.
Campi ya Kanzi is proud to pioneer a new method of
conservation through the involvement of the local Maasai landlords.
Guests assist this effort by contributing a daily conservation fee of
$100, which is spent toward the welfare of both men and wildlife.
Responsible eco-tourism preserves the wildlife heritage of this
important East African wilderness and allows the Maasai to continue
their traditional way of life, which is more than a millennium old.
