Tortilis Camp Amboseli

Tortilis Camp Amboseli is an elegant luxury safari camp set within the Kitirua Conservancy, bordering Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya. Surrounded by open savannah, acacia woodland and sweeping views towards Mount Kilimanjaro, the camp offers an intimate way to experience one of East Africa's most iconic wildlife landscapes.

Rather than separating guests from the wilderness, Tortilis Camp brings the landscape into the experience. Spacious tented accommodation, natural materials, open-air dining and carefully guided safari activities create a sense of understated luxury that feels deeply connected to Amboseli.

The camp is particularly renowned for its setting. On clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro rises dramatically beyond the plains, while elephants move through the Amboseli ecosystem below. Sunrise and sunset can transform the landscape from golden savannah to dramatic silhouettes, creating an exceptional backdrop for photography and quiet moments in the wilderness.

For travellers searching for luxury accommodation in Amboseli, Tortilis Camp offers a distinctive combination of location, comfort, wildlife and responsible safari tourism.

Wake beneath the African sky with Mount Kilimanjaro rising beyond the plains, elephants moving through the Amboseli ecosystem and the quiet luxury of an intimate safari camp in the heart of Kenya.

Location

_______

Where elephants meet Africa's highest mountain

Tortilis Camp is located in the Kitirua Conservancy, bordering the western side of Amboseli National Park.

This position gives the lodge an important advantage. Guests can experience the wildlife and landscapes of Amboseli while also enjoying the quieter atmosphere and additional activities associated with a private conservancy.

The surrounding ecosystem is famous for its dramatic scenery. Vast grasslands stretch towards Mount Kilimanjaro, while seasonal wetlands attract wildlife during periods of water availability.

The landscape also supports one of Kenya's most celebrated elephant populations.

From the camp, the combination of wildlife, open plains and Mount Kilimanjaro creates one of the most recognisable safari settings in Kenya.

 Verified Highly recommended
We had a wonderful experience with Jonathan. He welcomed us at the airport and took great care of us from the moment we arrived until the end of our trip. The selection of hotels was impeccable, and the route he designed was perfectly planned. Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and went the extra mile to make sure we saw lions and all of the Big Five during our visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park. He was always attentive, patient, and eager to make our experience unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommended!

 Verified Exceptional experience, enriching and truly unforgettable.
From the moment we landed we received a warm welcome. Jonathan was friendly and readily available to answer any queries throughout our trip. He was incredibly accommodating with our requests to visit schools, residences ensuring that we achieved everything we wanted from the trip. We had a great time with Jonathan and driver Isaac. Jonathan was very funny and very knowledgeable he became part of the family and the time just flew whilst we were there, we felt safe at all times. The food at each venue catered for all our needs. Definitely leant a lot on this trip. Just need to be aware that food ordered in restaurants do take a long time as they make it from scratch so if pushed for time might be advisable to pre order. We had unforgettable holiday and this company went above and beyond to make every moment special. I would recommend them to anyone.

We done a road trip across East Africa from Uganda to Tanzania. Jonathan and his team facilitated our trip across Uganda and Kenya which proved to be a very enjoyable experience. Guided knowledge provided by Jonathan was excellent as was his humor and wit. We always felt safe and informed, he managed the journey very well indeed. We would definitely use Jonathan's services again.

 Verified Magical Uganda Safari Journey – February 2025!
I had an unforgettable experience with Ababa Uganda Safaris! From the moment I arrived, everything was well-organized, and the team was incredibly friendly and professional. The tour guides were knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and culture. Seeing gorillas up close in Bwindi and exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park was a dream come true. The accommodations were comfortable, and every detail was taken care of. I truly felt immersed in Uganda’s beauty without any stress. If you're planning a trip to Uganda, I highly recommend Ababa Uganda Safaris for a seamless and memorable adventure!

Our KQ flight was horribly delayed. From 2.30 pm to arriving @ almost 3 am the following day. Jonathan kindly arranged for airport pick at this early hour of day and even rescheduled our departure for bwindi so we could get some rest. That was very accommodating.the drive to bwindi was a long drive -11 hrs- n he informed hotel of our late arrival. The lodge he chose for us was good and comfortable. However the vehicle for transporti g us could be better as it was quite hot without air conditioning. Gorilla trek was good but tough. Overall Ababa safaris were very accommodating. I wouldrecommend them. The hotel in Kampala- Speke hotel leaves a lot to be desired

 Verified Such a wonderful experience!!
My family and I contacted Jonathan to help us plan our first Murchison Falls safari. Jonathan arranged our transport from Kampala, with a stop at Ziwa Rhino sanctuary and guided game drives through Murchison falls. Ronnie, our professional driver and guide, was very knowledgeable and paid close attention to details to make us comfortable. He met with us a day before takeoff to answer any outstanding questions and recommended a time for us to set off to avoid any traffic. His experience made our trip even more enjoyable because we knew what to expect for entry fees into the park, where to stop to use clean washrooms, eat good food, and also what side of the boat cruise to sit on for the best views! We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, job, rhinos, buffaloes and many other animals. We would definitely go with them for our next safari in Uganda! They had great communication, value for money, professionalism, knowledge of the industry and were very reliable.

 Verified A must-hire company! Punctual, professional, great communication.
We used Ababa Safaris for a trip from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park. I would HIGHLY recommend! Our driver picked us up in a large safari vehicle with a pop up roof. The driver was very punctual and had excellent communication while preparing for the trip and during the trip. Ronnie took us to a nice restaurant for a rest stop that had clean bathrooms and good food. He was friendly with many people we met along the way at the Rhino Sanctuary, on the safari trails, and at our chosen lodging. It felt as though he had good connections with people, which we took as a good sign. Ronnie was very knowledgeable about the best places to see the animals and gave us a great safari experience. As the person in the family who does much of the planning, it was a very enjoyable experience to hand all of that over to Ababa and really get to enjoy myself.

 Verified Animals and beautiful nature in Uganda and Rwanda
From being picked-up from Entebbe airport in the middle of the night until the drop-off eleven days later in Kigali it was a perfect tour. Jonathan, our guide, and the driver Moses was a perfect team - very friendly, knowledgable and always in time. We visited Entebbe for a tour through the botanical gardens and the zoo, did safaris and boat trips in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth NP and did trekkings to the chimpazees in Kibale and to the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. The primates are a must visit when you travel to this region. It's expensive but worth every dollar. The safari parks are of course not as rich in animals as for example the Masai Mara. But they are much cheaper, there are much lesser tourists and nevertheless it doesn't become boring regarding animal sightings. We saw a lot of different antelopes, beautiful giraffes, lions, many elephants, buffalos, a lot of hippos and crocodiles and much more. The choice of hotels was very good, simple and cheap where there was only a short overnight stay and a bit more expensive where it was worth to spend the money for staying close to the places of interest, e.g. close to the starting point for primate trekkings or in the middle of QENP and Murchison NP for not loosing game-drive-time.
