A quaint camp, but I have to say… a special thank you to Eunice! It’s a good downhill walk going to our tent, and dark. I understand that theres electric fence in the property, but your “men staff” could be of good help to make sure that your guests are back safely to their tents. Having experienced with other Kenyan camps that guests safety is a huge thing… I’m q bit disappointed with the staff (men)just standing by tge guest walkway instead of accompanying the guests especially the ladies. A kettle also helps if available for the gursts to use.

Located in a Conservancy within Amboselli National Park this camp offers shared game drives, walks, sundowners both in the Conservancy as in the NP. The camp central accommodation is at the top of a hill, whilst the thatched cabins are all down the hill (a ride to the top is available however). The cabin is a long rectangle with the bathroom at the end. It is a rather large camp and you will be sharing the safari car with 4 others; the viewings all concentrate on elephants, the huge tuskers for which Amboselli is famous. Mount Kilimanjaro offers a nice backdrop on the pictures, when not in the clouds. As we stayed 3 nights, we had each day different company in our car, except for the last morning, when it was only the 2 of us. The sundowner is a surprise and very nice, as well as one breakfast. The staff, the service as well as the meals are in line with the 4* classification of this camp. Breakfast and lunch are buffets, diner is plateservice. The food is fine.

I had a wonderful stay here. I stayed in the private house which has 2 bedrooms with a huge shared living area. You can see Mt. Kilimanjaro from the living are. It’s also near a pool. The best aspect of this camp is the location in a private conservancy. It’s absolutely lovely plus game viewing can be seen “off road” which you can’t do in the park. We had some incredible cheetah, hyena and elephant sightings.

Our stay at the Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli was nothing short of extraordinary. This beautiful property is thoughtfully designed, with spacious and lovingly crafted accommodations that seamlessly blend into the natural surroundings. One of the highlights of the camp is the breathtaking view of Mount Kilimanjaro, which provides a stunning backdrop to every moment. The on-site waterhole adds to the magic, offering constant entertainment as wildlife comes and goes—a truly mesmerizing experience. The camp’s communal spaces are equally impressive. The cozy seating areas by the bar and the dining area with panoramic views are perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery. We particularly loved the dedicated firepit, which made for an ideal spot to stargaze under the African sky—a magical way to end each day. The availability of binoculars is a thoughtful touch, enhancing the wildlife and landscape experience. A standout memory for us was the perfectly organized breakfast in the wild. Enjoying a delicious meal surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature was an unforgettable highlight of our stay. The staff deserve special recognition for their exceptional hospitality. Every team member was incredibly friendly, attentive, and humorous, making both adults and children feel completely at ease. The camp is very child-friendly, with staff going out of their way to ensure that younger guests are well cared for and entertained. The safari guides were outstanding—highly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about sharing their expertise. They truly elevated the game drives into unforgettable adventures. The food at the camp was superb, with a wonderful selection catering to all tastes, including children and vegetarians. Each meal was beautifully arranged, and the cocktails were nothing short of fantastic. Families will also appreciate the private pool, offering a great place to relax in between activities. Overall, our stay at Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli was an exceptional and unique experience. From the stunning location and luxurious facilities to the warm hospitality and world-class safari adventures, every detail contributed to an unforgettable visit. Highly recommended!

We loved our time at Tortilis! We spent five nights here, and felt that the staff provided such care and warm-hearted attention to us throughout the stay. The lodge provides a dedicated room steward and waiter for the duration of your stay, and we were extremely thankful to be looked after by head waiter William and room steward Kiyomgo - who also provided to-the-second wake up calls with freshly brewed coffee direct to the tented room. William made every meal a delight, and was a joy to connect with. The food was very good - a challenge when so far nestled in the bush, and there are an array of daily an la carte options for lunch and dinner. Rooms are well appointed and eco friendly - and the bathroom has a special feature of a filtered water tap, saving on plastic bottles. Laundry service was also fantastic. The property has gorgeous common areas - the covered restaurant and bar both overlook the active waterhole, and provide a stunning view of Mt Kilimanjaro when she is visible from cloud cover. Graeme and Candy are delightful general managers, both hailing from Scotland, and have so many entertaining stories of their time in Africa - their book “Don’t Shake the Mango Tree” is definitely worth a read. They lead by example with their beautiful staff (over 60% of whom come from local villages) to ensure that hospitality is provided from the heart, and guests want for nothing. Amboseli is a glorious national park to explore, and is Kenya’s “home of the elephants”, who are thriving here. Tortilis is highly recommended. Thank you and Asante Sana!

From the moment you are greeted by Candi and Graham, till the moment you leave, this resort is a joy. Prepare to be pampered, well fed, and shown the most amazing sites by your guide. Our guide Dickson did his best to find everything on our list, as well as things we didn’t even know we wanted to see. The staff was attentive and friendly to a fault and the immersion in the local Culture was exceptional. The next time we are in Kenya, we will definitely revisit this wonderful property
