Tortilis Camp

CEDARBERG RATING

Luxury

Overview

Tortilis Camp is named after the flat-topped, umbrella thorn tree, the Acacia Tortilis, and is situated in one of Amboseli's areas of Acacia Tortilis woodland, with the majestic backdrop of Africa's highest mountain, and the world’s highest free-standing mountain, snow-capped Kilimanjaro. Game drives, walks with Masai guides from the local community, sundowners and bush meals take place both inside the park, and within a private 30,000 acre game concession. In the heart of Masai country, Tortilis Camp offers visits to local Masai homesteads. The families will show you round their home for a fee (payable separately) and will want to take the opportunity to sell their traditional handicrafts - bargain hard!

Amboseli is best known for its unrivalled views of Kilimanjaro and the local elephant population. There are over 1500 elephants in the parks eco-system, featuring some of the largest in Africa.

Accommodation

The tents are all spacious, with king or twin beds and elegant en suite bathrooms. There is a main lounge, bar and dining area, all exquisitely built with natural materials and thatched roofs, with magnificent views of Kilimanjaro. All tents can fit one extra bed (for children under the age of 16 years only).

Two recent additions to Tortilis Camp is the Family Tent and Private House. The Family Tent has breathtaking views of Mt Kilimanjaro and has one double en suite bedroom, one twin en suite bedroom and a private verandah. It shares a swimming pool with the Private House, which has the same features as the Family Tent but also has a sitting/dining room with veranda.
