To visit Campi ya Kanzi is to step into the pages of Hemingway’s Green Hills of Africa. It is the landscape of his wistful yearning, set against the lush slopes of Kenya’s Chyulu Hills, with the eternal silhouette of Kilimanjaro floating on the horizon.
The camp’s magic lies in its scale: vast, untamed wilderness paired with exquisite intimacy. Its handful of luxurious tents and suites are the only ones on a sprawling Maasai-owned conservancy. Overseen by Luca and Antonella, your hosts are ultimately the Maasai people, forging a bond that is both ancient and immediate.
This is a sanctuary with a purpose. Your presence directly supports the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust in preserving this fragile world—a mission that echoes from these hills to the streets of New York City. Here, you become part of the story, helping to write a hopeful next chapter for these enduring green hills.

Campi ya Kanzi offers just eight accommodations—six luxury cottages and two tented suites—each a breezy, cozy sanctuary crafted in the hallowed safari tradition. Every one is perfectly positioned for its own private, ever-changing panorama of Mount Kilimanjaro, the Chyulu forests, and the sweeping plains below, complemented by the dedicated service of a personal Maasai attendant.
For families or groups, Kanzi House provides a secluded villa for private gatherings, while the Pool Cottage features a stunning infinity pool—the ultimate vantage point for drifting beneath the monumental clouds that crown Kilimanjaro.
The heart of the camp is the main lodge, a space of understated elegance that feels instantly like home. Here, dining becomes a highlight. Under Antonella’s expert supervision, the kitchen artfully blends classic Italian flair with the freshest local ingredients, creating memorable meals that are a delicious testament to the camp’s unique spirit.
Our hosts’ passion for Africa shines through their expert naturalist staff, who lead informative and exciting game drives across the plains. For a truly unique experience, join Luca and Maasai trackers on a walking safari through the Chyulu cloud forest. Amidst ancient strangler figs and lush vegetation, you can spot forest elephants, hogs, and rare hornbills. From these heights, the mist clears to reveal stunning views of Kilimanjaro. Each day ends with sundowners atop a hill, soaking in the magnificent landscape.
