Article by Joe Maina

Tortilis Camp,
Tortilis Camp Amboseli has 15 tents is set on a gentle slope at the edge of the Park. Each tent has a spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro from the privacy of it's own veranda. The tents have been designed for comfort with traditional safari chairs, chests and beds, with private bathroom, hot water and electricity supplied by solar panels. The dinning room and the bar offer a good view of animals at a nearby waterhole. The tortillis camp has been kept small to ensure that each guest receives high quality and personalized services. Also available at the camp are guided game walks for guests wishing to explore outside the Amboseli National park.

Porini Camp
Porini Camp consists of six spacious tents, sited among shady Acacia Tortilis trees, in a spot once favored by big game hunters. The camp is small and exclusive, accommodating a maximum of 12 guests. It is set up along the lines of the traditional hunting safari bush camp, so there are no permanent structures like bar or restaurant or swimming pool – this is real camping in the bush, but with much more comfortable bathroom arrangements than were available to the hunters of earlier years!

The Porini tents are large and comfortably furnished, each with a double and a single bed, solar-powered electric lights, and en suite bathroom with shower, washbasin and flush toilet. Meals are taken under the shade of an Acacia tree and after dinner we can sit around the campfire and listen to the sounds of the African night. The camp is staffed by members of the local Maasai community apart from the management couple who act as your hosts throughout your stay. Apart from big game like elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe and zebra, there are several less common species such as caracal, African wild cat, civet, gerenuk, lesser kudu and striped hyena.

Ol Kanjau Camp
Ol Kanjau Camp is located in Amboseli National Park. Ol Kanjau, the "Camp of the Elephants", is a traditional style tented camp just three kilometers east of Amboseli National Park. The accommodation is tented and exclusive to groups of 12 guests or less. The light structure of a traditional tented safari camp maintains the most direct contact with the natural world that you can sustain. It reminds us that the natural world is too often diminished by the permanent structures that people now build everywhere. Too often permanent boutique lodges and camps seem grand in inverse proportion to the amount and quality of wildlife that remains nearby Ol Kanjau camp at Amboseli national park
