The whole property is at the great location, it offers amazing views of Kilimanjaro. the tent was very spacious, they always kept our room clean. There are animals roaming around freely, so the guests should not be surprised seeing zebras or impalas in front of the tent. Sometimes big cats can come close to the property too. But the hotel “warriors” will escort you to your tent. We loved the food the most, starting from breakfast through lunch to dinner, every single dish was just delicious and we couldn’t get enough. The best meals on our Kenya trip.

Daniel Kuwait

The food was exceptional. In fact, it was the best food I’ve ever eaten. I would go back to Kilima Camp just for the buffet! The camp is perfectly located, just 1 minute from the national park gate entrance. All the staff were incredibly hospitable!

Harry United Kingdom

Food and Ambiance were fabulous. Accommodations were spacious. Wish I could have stayed longer. Loved the escorts to your tent.

Vikki United States of America

The breakfast was basic but good. Maybe some slices of cheese and jam could have provided some extra with the sandwich. The residence is located in the middle of the wild animals. These are therefore regularly spotted around and in the resort. Simply fantastic.

Jan Belgium

I loved the service provided by staff and the views of Kilimanjaro.

Sean United States of America

The food, the staff, the location just close to Kimana gate.

Bafaba United Kingdom

Thea Kenya

The buffet selection was extensive. The rooms were really big. It was peaceful, nice for relaxation and observed some wildlife. Also, close to the Amboseli National Park. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Donah Kenya

well located close to Amboseli East gate. visitors to keep us entertained at breakfast included gazelles bouncing past, warthogs and zebra coming over for a feed, and monkeys playing. Fantastic elevated platform to watch the sun rise illuminate Kilimanjaro, and see the animals coming over to the waterhole
