Location
Tortilis Camp sits on a private conservancy on the south western border of the Amboseli National Park. This location allows guests to explore both the national park and the conservancy where you can expect greater privacy during game drives and the chance to enjoy fascinating guided walks.
Accommodation
You can choose to stay in Tortilis’ two-bedroom private house or the family tent, both great choices for families or groups, or in one of the camp’s 16 tents. Each of these has glorious mountain views, a spacious veranda, and twin or double beds in the comfortable main bedrooms.
The canvas sides of the tents roll up to reveal the surrounding wilderness; inside are attractively woven rugs on wooden floors, brightly coloured throws, comfortable chairs, and antique trunks.
Experiences
- Dining at Tortilis is an absolute pleasure - enjoy produce grown in the lovingly tended on site garden at your table overlooking Mt. Kilimanjaro.
- The camp enjoys unrivalled views of Kilimanjaro from several communal areas and some of the guests’ tents too.
- Guiding standards at Tortilis are exceptionally high. Most of the guides, who have a combined 80 years’ experience between them, are Masai and, having grown up in this wilderness, know it inside out.
- Amboseli is well-known for its healthy elephant population and the Tortilis guides know the individuals and their familial relationships well.

Conservation
Elewana, Tortilis’ parent company, have been pioneers in supporting “Parks Beyond Parks” - conservation areas that lie outside of nationally protected parks. In total they play a key role in protecting land extending to over 1.36 million acres.
Environment
Degraded areas within and around the camp have been reclaimed through planting Amboseli grass, indigenous species of succulents and aloes, as well as over 450 Acacia trees.
Community
Tortilis Camp employs around 60% of its staff from the local community, training them from scratch to become professionals in their line of work. With each employed individual in Kenya supporting an average of 8 dependents, the 40 local staff members have the potential to support between 300 and 400 members of the community.
