Top 5 Best Lodges and Camps in Amboseli
1. Serena Lodge
Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge was created for adventurers with an African dream. With Mount Kilimanjaro soaring majestically just beyond the golden, acacia-specked savannah, the safari lodge offers a graceful blend of stark beauty and lavish comfort in the heart of Kenya’s Amboseli National Park.
Nestled in an acacia grove by a gentle mountain spring, our hotel, comprising a Maasai-inspired design, a garden restaurant, and a palm-shaded swimming pool and sundeck, provides uninterrupted views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding landscape.
In every detail, the ambiance captures the essence of Maasai culture, warmth, and indomitable spirit. The setting of our Amboseli safari lodge is breathtakingly beautiful, the wildlife abundant and the cuisine, hospitality, and amenities unrivaled.
2. Oltukai Lodge
Ol Tukai Lodge shares the rich cultural history of Amboseli involving The Maasai Community, The Colonial Government, and The Early European explorers. The culmination of all these defines our hospitality offering of authentic African Safari experience and culture.
The lodge is strategically located at the heart of Amboseli National Park. As such, it is designed to take advantage of its scenic environment; Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the abundant wildlife of Amboseli, making it a world-renowned spot to observe African Elephants.
We started by offering unique Safari experiences to leisure travelers but we have since expanded our services to the corporate world.
3. Sopa Lodge
Set in 200 acres of private land, and with a rustic charm all of its own, the lodge nestles in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro which, at almost six thousand meters, is Africa’s highest and most famous snowcapped mountain.
It was this region of Kenya that, in the 1930s, inspired Ernest Hemingway’s unforgettable stories ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro’ and ‘The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber’ which were turned into more than successful feature films in the late 1940s due to their renowned actors.
All forms of wildlife still abound in this wilderness which continues to the Amboseli National Park, an easy twenty-minute drive away from the lodge.
4. Tulia Camp
Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp is an eco-friendly safari camp just outside of Kimana Gate in the southeast area of the Amboseli National Park in Kenya.
As a small, tented camp, Tulia offers an intimacy like no other camp in the area. Each tent opens to Mt Kilimanjaro and offers wonderful views of both sunrise and sunset. The welcoming restaurant and lounge overlook a very active waterhole where daily visits from the elephant, giraffe, zebra, eland, cheetah, lion, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, gazelle, waterbuck, gerenuk among others, offer guests an up-close, intimate experience.
5. Tortilis Camp
Tortilis Camp is a prime location for witnessing the majesty of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro.
Tortilis Camp is named after the flat-topped, umbrella thorn tree, the Acacia Tortilis, and embraces a hill in one of Amboseli’s areas of Acacia Tortilis woodland. Located in a private conservancy bordering the national park, game drives, walks, sundowners, and bush meals take place both inside the national park and in the conservancy, where guests enjoy exclusivity.
The tents are all spacious, with king or twin beds and elegant en suite bathrooms. There is a main lounge, bar, and dining area, all exquisitely built with natural materials and thatched roofs. The Private House and Family Tent are located slightly separate from the main camp, upon the hill where they share a pool.
