ELEPHANTS UNDER KILIMANJARO
Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli
Nestled in the shadow of Kilimanjaro, Elewana Tortilis Camp sits at the edge of Amboseli National Park, Kenya. Elegant, traditionally styled safari tents provide the perfect base to observe rich wildlife, including Amboseli's iconic elephants, set against the backdrop of Africa's tallest peak.
Named for the distinctive flat-topped Acacia Tortilis tree, the camp is situated in a forest within a private conservancy adjacent to Amboseli National Park. This unique location allows guests to enjoy game drives, walks, sundowners, and bush meals both in the park and in the exclusive-access conservancy.
The spacious tents feature king or twin beds and refined en suite bathrooms. A central lounge, bar, and dining area, beautifully crafted with natural materials and thatched roofs, offers a communal gathering space. For larger groups or family reunions, The Private House and Family Tent, separate from the main camp and perched on a hill with a shared pool, provide an ideal retreat. Amboseli hotels must not be missed on your visit to Kenya.
