Getting to Tortilis Camp, Amboseli National Park

Every aspect of Tortilis Camp is designed to blend in with the surroundings and without impact on the ecosystem of the Amboseli National Park in Kenya.

High altitude regions (over 4000 feet / 1219 metres) can be considered malaria free including Tortilis Camp.

When early explorers in Africa reported a snowy mountain so close to the equator, they were treated with derision. It’s bright dazzling beauty glows pink at sunset and there are views of this natural wonder from everywhere in Tortilis Camp. This Kenya safari lodge in the heart of Maasai country is nestled on the side of LIimbarishi Hill in a thicket of Tortilis Acacia trees, after which it is named.
