TORTILIS
Amboseli
Tortilis: Our ViewLocated over to the west of Amboseli NP, Tortilis is located in one of the best areas, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to have easy access to the park. One of the longest running of the Cheli and Peacock lodges, it has long been a favourite with clients, keen to see the famous elephants with the famous backdrop. All in all a great choice for those wanting to see elephants in particular. Tortilis is Amboseli’s most famous lodge and one of Kenya’s most iconic. With dramatic views of Kilimanjaro and a location that guarantees great elephant, this is one of our favourite camps in the country.

Mathews Range
Sarara is the germination of the thoughts and beliefs of Ian Craig and Piers and Hilary Bastard, and is a superb example of how community projects can work in Africa to protect the wildlife. With a small and intimate feel to the camp and, as it is still managed by Piers and Hilary, it is a great spot to get a bit of relaxation, a bit of community interaction with the local Samburu, and a bit of game.
Shompole
Since Shompole’s conception, it has really been leading the way in how to organise and successfully run a community lodge. Superbly designed with the elements of nature such as water featuring very prominently in the entire design, the lodge has a wonderfully relaxed and secluded air to it.
