TOP 3 ECO LODGES AROUND THE WORLD
CAMPI YA KANZI ECO LODGE (Kenya)
You can’t swing a stick in East Africa without hitting a luxury safari camp. What makes
this eco lodge overlooking Mount Kilimanjaro different is the fact that it’s actually
owned and operated by the Maasai people, the nomadic pastoralists who have called
this region home for some 500 years.
The 400 square mile Campi ya Kenzi (“Camp of the Hidden Treasure”) is bordered by
Amboseli, Tsavo and Chyulu National Parks.
So there’s a diverse array of ecosystems (mountain forest, grasslands, river woodlands,
bush and savanna) and remarkable biodiversity (50+ mammals and 400+ bird species) that
makes for a memorable safari. Can you imagine a morning walking safari with a Maasai
guide?
The tented camp is exclusive, with a maximum of 12 guests at any given time. The
tents were all built sustainably, with thatched roofs, lava rocks and traditional Masai
decor.
