KenyaI'm visiting Tsavo in April. Finch Hattons looks amazing but mega bucks, can you suggest the next best thing? Looking for an authentic stay with a touch of luxury.

As you have discovered the real top end safari accommodation in Kenya are eye-wateringly expensive. Kilaguni Serena Safari is a more accessibly-priced nice lodge not far from Finch Hattons. It's still far from a budget offering and it's much larger than Finch Hattons but the Serena offerings are generally pretty good value.
