She arrived on Tuesday 10.30 pm aboard her luxurious jet and will be in the tourist resort town of Malindi for one month.
Immediately after landing, Campbell went straight to the exclusive Lion in the Sun resort owned by her ex-boyfriend and billionaire Flavio Briatore.
Resort general manager Stephanie Ravessoud confirmed that Campbell was in Malindi and promised to give more details about her visit later.
"Right now she has to rest, we cannot give any more information," he said.
He said the media will be briefed about her visit.
Sources told the Star thar the supermodel will have a long, relaxed holiday and is expected to visit Children of the Rising Sun, an orphanage she is supporting.
The source said Campbell could also be calling the orphans to the luxurious resort she stays for lunch as she always does when she comes.
Apart from the orphanage, the supermodel also loves to visit the peak of the Sabaki River mouth, where the ocean and river water meets.
