Tucked into the slopes of Liimbarishi Hill on the south-western edge of Amboseli National Park, Elewana Tortilis Camp looks out across the plains towards Kilimanjaro. The camp lies within the private Kitirua Conservancy, away from the busier parts of the park, so guests can explore both the national park and a wilderness reserved for them.
Elephants are the stars here. Amboseli is home to some of the biggest elephants in Africa, and the camp’s guides know the individual families and their histories. Game drives head out in custom 4×4 vehicles, with evening drives before dinner and guided bush walks with local Maasai guides. Bush breakfasts and sundowners add to the sense of occasion.
The lounge, bar and dining area are built from natural materials beneath thatched roofs, and the kitchen makes good use of salads and herbs grown in the camp. Between drives, there’s a swimming pool to cool off in, along with massages, manicures and pedicures.
Families are well looked after, with a children’s programme that includes warrior training and jewellery making with Maasai villagers. The camp is also 100% solar powered, so your stay leaves a lighter footprint.
Elewana Tortilis Camp offers three styles of accommodation. The makuti-thatched tents each have twin or double beds, an en suite bathroom and a spacious verandah. The Family Tent has one double and one twin en suite bedroom, with a private verandah looking towards Kilimanjaro. The Private House follows the same layout and adds a sitting room with its own verandah. Both sit on the hill slightly apart from the main camp and share a private swimming pool. Each bedroom can take one extra bed for a child under 16.

Elewana Tortilis Camp sits on Liimbarishi Hill in the private Kitirua Conservancy, on the south-western edge of Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya. The camp faces Kilimanjaro across the border in Tanzania, and its position away from the busier parts of the park gives guests access to both the national park and the conservancy. Amboseli airstrip is a 45-minute scheduled flight from Nairobi's Wilson Airport, followed by a 45-minute drive to camp. Daily flights also link Amboseli with Mombasa and the Masai Mara, making it easy to combine with the coast.
