Campi ya Kanzi - Kuku Conservation Area
Campi ya Kanzi means "Camp of the Hidden Treasures" in Kiswahili. For you, it means "safari in style" at a luxury tented safari camp. The camp lies within a 400-square-mile private ranch in southern Kenya, in sight of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The Maasai own this land, making it one of the last unspoiled areas of Africa. Connecting three national parks, the property is home to a vast wildlife population.
Campi ya Kanzi has two goals:
• Help the Maasai preserve their wildlife heritage.
• Treat you to the most memorable vacation of your life.
Campi ya Kanzi is managed by Luca Belpietro and Antonella Bonomi. Forty-two people from local Maasai villages help them with the cooking, housekeeping and maintenance at the camp. All of them are dedicated to making your safari at Campi ya Kanzi the most memorable vacation of your life.
