TORTILIS CAMP - FRIENDS AND FAMILY DISCOVER KENYA TOGETHER


With the majestic backdrop of Africa’s highest mountain, and the world’s highest free-standing mountain, Tortilis Camp is widely regarded as the prime location for witnessing the majesty of snow-capped Kilimanjaro. Tortilis Camp is named after the flat-topped, umbrella thorn tree that surrounds the camp, the Acacia Tortilis.

Amboseli is also known for its magnificent elephants – a population of over 1500 elephants, and some of Africa’s largest, reside in the park’s unique eco-system. Game drives, walks, sundowners and bush meals all take place both inside the Amboseli National Park and within a private 30,000 acre game concession, offering fantastic opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.

Tortilis Camp guides are based in camp in Amboseli, and know their backyard intimately. More than half are Maasai, and have a combined Tortilis Camp guiding experience of 80 years- our head guide has been at Tortilis Camp since it opened! All the guides are Gold, Silver or Bronze level Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association certified.

Accommodation

Tents

With Mt. Kilimanjaro peering down over the entire camp, each of Tortilis Camp’s 16 tents has a glorious view of the mountain.
Each makuti-covered tent consists of a main bedroom with twin or double beds, en-suite bathroom and a spacious verandah. Let us know if you require twin beds or double bed.

[All tents can fit one extra bed, for children under the age of 16 yrs only]

Family Tent

With outstanding views of Mt Kilimanjaro, enjoyed from the comfort of your own private family verandah, Tortilis Camp’s new Family Tent is another great addition to this child-friendly safari camp in Amboseli.

The Family Tent consists of one double en suite bedroom, one twin en suite bedroom, and a spacious private verandah.

Featuring a brand new swimming pool shared with the Private House.

[Both bedrooms can fit one extra bed for children under the age of 16 years only]

A first in Kenya

Tortilis Camp has open game drive vehicles, the first camp to use open vehicles in a National Park. The current fleet are new, specially fitted, 4×4 Toyota Landcruisers. The vehicles are unrivalled with feature enhancements specifically designed for comfort and photography – open sided with 3 rows of seats, photographic equipment stands, and charging sockets. Clients will share game drives unless “exclusive use of vehicle” has been pre booked at an extra charge.

With only 10% of Amboseli National Park utilized by most safari vehicles, combined with Tortilis Camp’s unique location on the western edge of the park (most lodges are outside of the eastern gate of the park), guests can enjoy an almost private Amboseli. We also have private game driving within our own 30,000 acre Kitirua Conservancy, which is the western part of the Amboseli ecosystem.
