Tortilis Camp takes its name from the umbrella-shaped Acacia tortilis trees scattered across its grounds, an Elewana Collection property positioned specifically for its uninterrupted view of Kilimanjaro rising above Amboseli’s plains.
Spacious tented suites set apart from one another for privacy, each with a private veranda angled toward Kilimanjaro, several with their own plunge pools.
A strong kitchen programme served both in the main dining tent and, on request, at a private table set out on the plains beneath the mountain.
Game drives across Amboseli’s swamps and plains, sundowners with Kilimanjaro as backdrop, and visits to a nearby Maasai community.
Amboseli holds one of Africa’s most habituated and longest-studied elephant populations, alongside its swamps’ concentration of hippo, buffalo and waterbirds.
The classic Amboseli composition, elephants moving across the plains with Kilimanjaro’s snowcap behind them, is at its clearest in the calm early morning light before the mountain clouds over.
Elewana’s Amboseli properties support the long-running Amboseli Trust for Elephants, whose decades of research have made this one of the best-documented elephant populations on Earth.
