Game watching and Birding, coupled with the seemingly endless landscapes gives Tortilis hotel the edge of an excellent place to be all year round. The amazing camp is 4 hrs drive from Nairobi and 2 hrs from Mombassa. This charming, rustic tented camp, shaded by a natural forest of Acacia Tortilis thorn trees is a magical escape from the hustle and bustle of life in the fast lane
Tortilis Camp Hotel Accommodation
Tortilis Camp Hotel in Amboseli is a luxury tented camp with 17 spacious tents, all with elegant en suite bathrooms with steaming hot showers, electric lights, hot - cold running water and modern flush toilets.  Each tent leads from a bedroom with expansive king-size or generous twin beds, through a dressing area into modern bathrooms with pressured hot showers and flush toilets. Each tent is raised up on a wooden deck and sheltered by a makuti (thatched) roof overhanging a large verandah, ideal for an early afternoon siesta. The tents are covered in thatch to keep them as cool as possible, and you can relax and unwind on your private veranda or around the pool

The camp has 17 large & Luxury tents:
9 with King-size beds
7 with Twin beds &
1 Family room with 2 bedrooms
Your room is an airy tent on a raised wooden platform, sheltered by a Makuti (thatched) roof.
You enter from your private stone verandah with a comfortable Lamu style day bed (perfect for afternoon siestas) into the main tent.
The light beige canvas, striking furnishings and local artifacts give each tent a stylish and relaxing charm. The double or twin beds are generous and comfortable. From the dressing area, a door leads into the en-suite bathroom with a wonderful high-pressure shower, hot spring-fed water and a flush toilet.

Children are welcome at Tortilis Camp. Early mealtimes and a baby-listening service are available, and during the day our experienced guides know how to make a bush walk or safari game drive 'come alive' for young guests.
In the heat of the day, parents can relax by the swimming pool whilst kids enjoy a refreshing dip, with iced-drinks available from the poolside bar.
Amboseli is a place of contrasts: during the hot dry season, mirages appear on the dusty horizon; year around, the elephant herds follow their ancient rituals, migrating daily from the Tortilis forests to the swamps. In the green season water birds: Flamingo, Pelican. Egyptian Geese flock to the park and the arid plains turn emerald green overnight.

In Amboseli, the traditional cultural heritage is strong: the Maasai communities adhere to an age-old lifestyle, herding and trading cattle; a life which they will share with you in their Manyattas (Maasai homes), a circle of dung and mud huts protected by a barrier of thorns against the predators.
Tortilis Camp has raised funds to build a school for the local villages; visits to the school and neighboring villages can be arranged.

At Tortilis Camp, Maasai Guides lead walks into the bush, passing on knowledge of traditional medicinal and uses of local flora and Maasai folklore.
A walk in the bush is part of the magic of a safari: following the spoor of the animals passing camp the night before, smelling the crushed leaves where animals have fed, listening to the bird calls and watching them overhead, this way you touch and feel the wild.

Tortilis Camp Hotel Restaurant
There is a main lounge, bar and dining area, all exquisitely built with natural materials and thatched roofs, with a magnificent view of Kilimanjaro.
