Tortilis Camp

Tortilis Camp, named after the nearby acacia tortilis trees, sits on the southern edge of Amboseli National Park, overlooking a natural waterhole. Guests are accommodated in spacious sleeping tents with en suite bathrooms. A large, semicircular veranda offers unique views of Mount Kilimanjaro. At night, the nocturnal sights and sounds of the African bush fill the camp.

Property Details

Tortilis Camp staff take pride in an international reputation for commitment to the environment with rustic simplicity, unobtrusive design, and attention to detail without compromising the ecosystem. The tents are large and the emphasis here is on service and comfort.

Each tent leads from a bedroom with an expansive king size or generous twin beds, through a dressing area into modern bathrooms with pressurized hot showers and flush toilets. Tents are raised up on wooden decks and sheltered by a thatched roof overhanging a large veranda, ideal for early afternoon siestas.

There are many activities available at Tortilis Camp. Enjoy varied game viewing and spend time following the elephant herds from the luxury of open-sided Land Rovers. Other activities include walking with trained Maasai guides, bush breakfasts on the plains, and sundowners on top of Kitirua Hill. An optional visit to one of the Maasai manyattas, or villages, to meet the Maasai women and watch the Morans, or young warriors, dance can be arranged.
