    Tortilis, facing Kilimanjaro

    Tortilis Camp faces Africa's highest and most beautiful peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, literally meaning «mountain of splendour» in Swahili. The 17 ethnically styled tents also enjoy the lunar panorama of Amboseli National Park, dotted with rocks and tortilis acacias, and made famous by its particularly massive elephants. Tortilis Camp takes its name from these famous umbrella-shaped, thorn-covered trees, the «tortilis» acacias. The camp is a green haven in a desolate environment that resembles a desert of stone and sand. 17 tents, including a superb family tent, enjoy a striking and legendary panorama crossed by herds of huge elephants. A more exclusive 2-bedroom villa is available for families or small groups of friends. A sense of peace washes over you in the face of the vastness of the African plains and the majesty of Kilimanjaro. After your 4x4 or walking safaris, Tortilis reveals all its charms: a splendid swimming pool, a massage lounge and delicious cuisine sourced from its own organic garden.

    STYLE

    Rather simple ethnic-style safari tents, with the panoramic view being the showstopper

    THE EXPERIENCES

    • Daytime 4x4 safari, walking safari
    • Swimming pool, bush spa
    • Village tour

    THE EXTRAORDINARY

    Amboseli offers a unique ecosystem in Africa in terms of hydrology, topography, geology and culture. Despite relatively scarce rainfall, the swamps fed by Mount Kilimanjaro support a considerable variety of birds and animals, largely dominated by a population of over 1,400 elephants.

    ETHICS

    Tortilis Camp was designed in accordance with eco-tourism principles and has already won several awards. The camp has implemented a number of measures to protect the environment, which has been damaged by an overpopulation of elephants, including fenced areas for the gradual regrowth of plant species.
