Our Preservation Journey

Working together to protect the environment and its wildlife

Finch Hattons has prioritized sustainability and green initiatives as part of our ethos. From the materials we’ve used to build our camp to our wastewater management system, we pride ourselves on implementing sustainable innovations that contribute to the preservation of our surroundings.

Our commitment to eco-friendly best practices includes a zero-plastic policy as well as solar powered water heating systems and a 222 Kw PV solar park capable of generating electricity all year round. Our mission towards a greener camp extends to our organic room and spa facilities, the use of biodegradable cleaning products and the installation and maintenance of our organic herb and vegetable garden. Our drinking water comes straight from the pristine natural springs that surround our camp and is bottled on site using the Vivreau filtration system.

We’ve partnered with a number of non-profit organisations who share our passion for conserving the environment and protecting our wildlife, allowing us to achieve and maintain our personal sustainability goals.

Kenya Wildlife Service

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) conserves and manages Kenya’s wildlife for the Kenyan people and the world, operating in the Tsavo National Park where Finch Hattons and KWS have had a successful partnership for 30 years.
