Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli

Our stay at this lodge was absolutely wonderful and truly unforgettable. The staff were exceptional—kind, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, with every detail handled with care. The atmosphere was quiet, intimate, and perfect for a honeymoon, making us feel relaxed and genuinely special from the very first moment. The location is stunning and ideal for enjoying the beauty of Amboseli. The sweet and thoughtful touches throughout our stay made our honeymoon even more memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for something truly special.

Where to start. This is our first visit to Kenya. We did 2 days here and 4 days in Masai Mara. A great choice. THis is a high end, all inclusive luxury camp without the attitude. The staff was great and hte food amazing. Our Guide Simon, was a mind reader. He also proposed a visit to another reserve to go see Craig, the largest elephant of Africa and a bush breafast. It was worth the detour. we went in early december which is a more quiet period (less people) but great for a safari. It is also a period to see many little ones. this camp also overlooks a very busy watering point and has Kilimanjaro in the background in hte morning and evenings!. The bar is high for our next Safari!

Tortilis Camp was our first stop on our Kenya safari. The property is beautiful and overlooks a large watering hole below and if you are lucky Mt Kilimanjaro in the distance. (Bring your binoculars to the dining room; you may spot elephants or giraffes at the watering hole.) Public spaces are rustic but elegant. Our tent was large, comfortable, and private – you cannot see or hear others in the camp. Plenty of hot water, good fast wifi. The food is delicious, beautifully presented, and bountiful. Or waiter, Donald, was the best – soft spoken, always greeting us by name, and anticipating all our needs.|Of course the main reason to come to Tortilis Camp is seeing the animals and the landscape. Our guide, Solomon, was outstanding. He spotted so many animals for us and educated us on their habits. He patiently answered all our questions. Obviously come to the Amboseli NP for the elephants (there are many) but we saw so much more thanks to Solomon – lions, cheetah, hippos, flamingos and a myriad of other birds, gazelles, giraffe, hyenas, zebras, wildebeest… We had an elaborate bush breakfast (complete with omelets to order) and a sundowner on top of a hill overlooking a beautiful landscape with Mt. Kilimanjaro just peeking out.

I want to tell you what an absolute wonderful time my husband, Craig, and I had while staying at Elewana Tortillas this October.  We absolutely loved our accommodations and were pleasantly surprised by the RODI water for brushing teeth and the presence of a hair dryer!  The bed was more comfortable than most hotels I've stayed in! The water was abundantly hot and the wifi was strong enough to keep me connected with no issues!We are pretty plain jane eaters and our waiter Donald was a bit bewildered at our lack of appetite initially.  He went out of his way to find Craig his beloved brownies and make sure we were well fed the entire time.  We skipped lunch one day (we aren't accustomed to 3x daily four course meals).  I joked with Craig that I think Donald would be wondering where we were.  Like clock-work he arrived at our tent to make sure we hadn't accidentally slept through lunch.  We very much appreciated his service!We opted for exclusive use of the safari vehicle and that was a great decision!  We had Simon to ourselves for the entire 3 days.  We loved him and he was the crown on top of the Tortilas experience.  He knew right where to take us and showed us many things!  He is very knowledgeable about his environment and the animals that reside there.  When I return I hope he is still there and I can request he be our guide again!

What an absolutely wonderful place the team at Elewana has created. Our stay for 3 nights was outstanding. Huge thanks to our guide Dickson, whose knowledge, hospitality and sense of humor absolutely made our trip. The property itself is gorgeous, thoughtfully designed and incorporates small touches like filtered water on tap in the rooms and very comfortable safari vehicles. Don't skip the massage! The access Tortilis afforded to the Conservancy made our wildlife sightings exceptional, the view of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the bush breakfast couldn't be beat!

We had an unforgettable stay at Tortilis Camp last month. The location is absolutely remarkable, overlooking a pond where elephants gather at dusk. The food was delicious, and the service was thoughtful and attentive throughout our stay. Having a private vehicle for just my husband and me, along with two excellent guides, made the experience even more special. They answered every question with such knowledge and passion. Some of our favorite moments included a surprise bush breakfast, a magical sundowner at the top of a hill, and an unexpected birthday cake for my husband that made the evening so memorable. We always felt completely safe and deeply enjoyed watching wildlife roam freely with the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. Each morning and afternoon, the camp manager and his wife greeted us warmly with a smile, which made us feel truly at home. Tortilis Camp is a place of beauty, care, and unforgettable experiences — we cannot recommend it enough.

We had an outstanding time at the camp. It was an absolutely enjoyable experience. We had the most interaction with our waiter James. He was very friendly and super eager to get us anything we want it. At every meal, he was warm, welcoming and a terrific server. We also enjoyed talking with him. He had a lot of knowledge and gave us good information. Our Butler Jackson was also exceptional. Our room was always immaculate and he was very friendly and efficient. Patrick at the bar was also excellent and always eager to make us feel welcome.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. The rooms are beautiful, the food is delicious, and they even gave us a free 30 minute massage for our honeymoon! We saw so many animals at the watering hole that you can see from the restaurant and bar. Donald was great at the restaurant and took great care of us and James left us nice notes and a bracelet during turndown service. Every staff member there though was so sweet and made our safari wonderful!
