Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli

Beautiful location, amazing service and meals. We were very happy here and only a sighting of Kilimanjaro would’ve made this trip even better. Many thanks to our waiter, Donald, truly welcoming and kind. Thank you also to Paul who always turned down our room perfectly. We Hope to return !

What lovely accommodations and such warm and hospitable staff! The food was always excellent, and our server Timothy went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We really enjoyed the views from the bar, the dining room, and the fire pit. A lovely experience all around!!

Everything was perfect. The food was incredible. Best of our entire trip. The staff was outstanding. Stanley was phenomenal and went beyond to ensure our stay was one of a kind. The property is stunning. The tented lodge was beautiful and romantic. The lighting at night all around was great. The big watering hole attracted many animals and the big telescope in the main area helped to zoom into the animals even more. Graeme was a gem and made sure every wish of our stay was granted. Definitely recommending tortilis to all of our friends.

We stayed at Elewana’s Tortilis Camp for two nights in March 2025, and it was without a doubt one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.||From the moment we landed at the Amboseli airstrip, the service was exceptional. Our driver greeted us with a beautifully arranged coffee and tea station, immediately setting the tone for a stay filled with thoughtful touches and warm hospitality.||The staff, especially the hotel manager, were incredibly kind, professional, and deeply knowledgeable about the savannah and its wildlife. The camp itself is luxurious yet perfectly in harmony with its natural surroundings. The food was delicious, the bar offered a wide range of drinks, and the views, especially from the restaurant and bar, were simply breathtaking, with Mount Kilimanjaro standing proudly in the distance.||The game drives were absolutely phenomenal. The open-sided jeeps were comfortable and perfect for photography. Our guide, Dixon, was amazing, friendly, insightful, and determined to help us spot everything we were hoping to see. One evening, we had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching a pride of 11 lions prepare to hunt, all while the sun set behind snow-capped Kilimanjaro. To make it even more special, Dixon surprised us with an aperitif setup: charcuterie, snacks, wine, and soft drinks, served right there in the wild. Pure magic.||Another highlight was the exclusive bush breakfast organized by the camp. A live cooking station, full buffet setup, and proper tables, all in the middle of the savannah. It felt like a scene from a movie.||Our tent was a luxurious haven. It felt like a proper hotel suite under canvas, with a very comfortable king-size bed and a fully equipped bathroom. The staff came by regularly to ensure it remained spotless and insect-free, making us feel safe and well cared for.||I wholeheartedly recommend Elewana’s Tortilis Camp to anyone seeking a unique, high-end safari experience. We’re already planning our next adventure with Elewana—this time to the Masai Mara!||Thank you to the entire team for making our first safari so incredibly special. You made it a memory we’ll cherish forever.||Melinda

A Truly Unforgettable Stay – Exceptional Staff and Service||We could not have asked for more. The staff at Tortilis Camp were outstanding in every way.||William, our waiter, was superb—always attentive and warm. James, our room steward, ensured our comfort with thoughtful touches and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Solomon, our driver, was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and highly skilled. He patiently answered all our questions and worked tirelessly to find the best wildlife sightings for us.||Ben and David led our safari walk and made it an unforgettable experience—don’t miss it if you have the chance! And a special thanks to Grahame and Candy, the most professional and genuinely friendly managers we’ve ever met.||The tent is the most luxurious we have stayed in and the bed so comfortable.||Thank you to everyone at Tortilis Camp for making our stay so memorable.||Paul and Sam

This camp was just an amazing experience and will be pretty hard to beat. From the moment we stepped on camp, we were treated like a King and Queen. The hospitality is second tonnone and the generosity of the management is amazing. The staff are so efficient and are always thinking ten steps ahead, they would communicate with your tour guide about logistics and food. The food and drinks are amazing. I would definitely recommend this camp and i will definitely come back. Most of all I believe that staff and their genuine kindness and genuine servitude made this camp such a memorable place to stay

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
