Campi ya Kanzi accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in six thatched roof tented cottages and in the Hemingway and Simba suites. (Rates)
The former is named after the famous author who wrote of the
nearby Chyulu Hills in his book "Green Hills of
Africa", the latter one is named after the Swahili name
for Lion.
Each tented cottage enjoys a different view, and accommodates
one or two adults. An extra bed can be added for a child.
Four tented cottages feature twin beds, and the remaining two
cottages and the suites both have a king-size bed, all with
feather mattresses and specially made linens imported from
Italy. Furniture was made at the camp with local logs. A table,
two safari chairs, a colonial trunk, kilim rugs, shelves and
hangers for your clothes, and daily fresh flowers complete the
interior décor.
The suites feature king-size beds, a clothes room between the
bedroom and the bathroom, and a sitting area next to the bed.
Bathrooms have double sinks. Both suites enjoy an astonishing
view of the lodge's waterhole and of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Both
tented cottages and suites are constructed of stones, canvas,
and wood, and they feature a full elegant bath with shower,
bidet, basin, flush toilet and electric light. Brass plumbing
fixtures add an unexpected touch of elegance and comfort, with
hot (solar heated) and cold running water.
Each tented cottage has a wide veranda to let you enjoy superb
views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Tsavo Hills, and the Chyulu
Hills. Our state-of-the-art solar power system provides
220-volt electricity for your cottage at any time (plugs and
sockets are 2 pins, Italian).
Campi ya Kanzi is a special retreat far removed from the hectic pace of the modern world. If necessary, however, you can reach your home or business with the camp's satellite phone. Cell phones - luckily! - do not work here.
With only six tented cottages and two suites, there is ample distance from one to the other to guarantee every guest's privacy. Each tented cottage has a dedicated Maasai attendant. At night, Maasai askari (night watchmen) patrol the camp.
