Located over to the west of Amboseli National Park, Tortilis is the best camp in the area. Located in its own private concession it is in one of the best areas, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to have easy access to the park. Run by Elewana, it has long been a favourite with clients, keen to see the famous elephants with the magnificent Kilimanjaro backdrop. All in all a great choice for those wanting to see elephants and a great warm up before the Maasai Mara.

Similar to its sister camps in the Mara, Amboseli Porini Camp has kept to the basics of safari and is a real find in what is a growingly expensive marketplace. With simple, but clean and tidy tents, all featuring fully flush loos and spacious dressing and sleeping areas, the accommodation is comfortable. The only apparent drawback to the lodge is its location outside the park…but we actually think that this is its main benefit! Outside the park avoids Amboseli's crowds. The game in the concession is actually very good and a stay just here will definitely give you all that you need without needing to join the mêlée going on nearby. Again, a great choice for those on a limited budget.

If you want that classic elephant with a Kilimanjaro backdrop view, then Ol Tukai is the place to go. But be warned: this isn’t a safari lodge but a hotel, with 80 rooms. So if you’re looking for that authentic safari experience, then you’d be better looking into Tortills.
