Yes, it has been 18 years since we, Antonella and Luca, started Campi ya Kanzi.

We scouted this beautiful landscape in 1995 and after long negotiations with the Maasai we began building the camp in July 1996.

We were completely solar back then, clearly being ahead of our time.

Then it will be of no surprise to hear how we have completely transformed Campi ya Kanzi, into an even more eco-friendly luxury camp...

It is a brand new camp. It is as green as it can be!

• New luxury tented cottages, with amazing art work by artist Gian Paolo Tomasi (do you like this Okoikuma lion?). His smaller artwork can be purchased by guests and all proceeds will be for MWCT.  

• New custom made Italian linens
• New custom made Italian bedding 
• New bathrooms, with an amazing low energy lighting system

• New hot water solar system: revolutionary technology not using direct sunlight but UV light. This is guaranteeing hot water, with no carbon emissions, even on cloudy days.
• New photovoltaic system, also using a revolutionary technology where solar panels produce direct electricity without having to charge batteries. It translates in to a much longer lifespan of the battery bank, while still having zero carbon emissions for our electricity needs: all energy comes from the sun (it really feels good writing a zero emissions newsletter!)
• New interior decor at Tembo House, including new sofas  

• No plastic bottles! A European water purification system using two different filters and a UV light purifies our drinking water. Campi ya Kanzi is 100% plastic bottle free!
• Refurbished cars, in leather and wood finishing, with our giraffe theme color
• New fly camp, at Motikanju Conservancy, next to Kilimanjaro, exactly where Hemingway was camping
• New Maasai Kids Safari, where children will enjoy learning to throw a spear (securely!), to light a fire (safely!), to dance, and will spend time hearing the elders' stories... an authentic immersion in one of the most fascinating cultures of Africa

Parashi and Mia (from Colombia!)

• New paint job, giraffe theme, on our aircraft, 5Y-LLJ
• New wellness center: Kanzi Amani (Amani means peace, quietness), with a Jacuzzi for 4, a 18mt pool, a massage room, and a new holistic approach to peace and wellness (Transcendental Meditation courses can be pre-arranged)

Yes, we did not spare anything and we have a brand new camp, with the warm hospitality of the earlier Campi ya Kanzi.

So new that we are introducing a different arrangement of accommodations.

-          6 luxury tented cottages

-          2 tented suites

-          1 swimming pool suite

-          Kanzi House, with 2 double rooms and 2 twin rooms

Well, come and enjoy your Amani Kanzi safari soonest!
