Elewana Tortilis Camp

We travelled here with some family friends and we enjoyed two wonderful days and nights with Tortilis. Zed, Graham and Candy welcomed us on arrival and Chris looked after us at meal times. Solomon was our guide, we loved his company and he was very patient with the young kids in our group. The food was tasty and colorful and the kids loved the afternoon tea and cake options and the pancakes at breakfast. Stunning views here of Kilimanjaro - if you lived there, it certainly wouldn't get old waking up to a majestic view like that. We really appreciated the surprise bush breakfast under the Tortilis tree, just outside the park. Many thanks to this camp for hosting us so well.

Arriving at lunchtime, the greeting was lovely and we were immediately impressed with the service and facilities. Over the next two hours, my wife became more and more unwell and at 3 pm I needed to contact reception for medical assistance. By 4 pm, they had sent a car to collect a local medic and she started to make her assessment of the situation. The condition of my wife was very serious and she had a temperature in excess of 40 degrees C and was losing fluids from every possible direction. Jade, the medic, set up a drip and delivered outstanding medical attention. Grahame and his team were on constant call and could not do enough for us. After many trips to reception, the staff all knew me by name and were asking after her. They even kept the kitchen open for me to eat something. The final act of kindness was to assist me to pay the bill, and repay on my checkout as I did not have sufficient $USD. The next day, my wife had recovered enough to have a light lunch and join the final game drive. Despite the trauma and stress, this was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever visited and the service was well beyond expectations when it really counted. A massive thank you 🙏 I have absolutely no hesitation to recommend.

Arrived with warm welcome, warm wash towels. Friendly staff, good food, spectacular location, lovely pool, The owner and his charming wife run the operation. When having dinner you can watch elephants come in the evening. Dont miss it! WONDERFUL,

We visited in mid May, a few days after the recent exceptional Kenyan rains, at the height of their 'low' season when there were very few of us guests, but the quality and friendliness of the staff, from the managers - Graeme and Candy - down were just perfect. The journey from and to the Amboseli entrance gate to the camp was a great safari drive in itself, and the three days we spent on similar morning and afternoon safari drives were full of incident, birds and animals, both land and water lovers. There were many highlights, the most memorable being an afternoon drive when we came upon two or three families of elephants, totalling over 30, just a couple of kilometres from the camp, calmly waking towards us just 10 feet from the road. Our guide simply switched off the engine and for the next 30 minutes, we watched amazed as this wonderful group of mature, young adult and baby elephants, slowly and peacefully walked around and past us, just feet away. The camp food was excellent, as were the packed breakfast picnics we took with us on two of the mornings. On the last full day the animals started returning to the small lake immediately below the camp and (Philip's) lions were heard if not seen. It is our dream to return.....watch this space!

We stayed at Tortilis Camp in February and .....it was AMAZING !!! We spent 2 nights in the Family Tent (which included our own pool) - the rooms were simply excellent and immaculately clean. Great touches including water coolers in each room. The views of Kilimanjaro from the tents were just incredible. We had a great guide during our stay and loved the bush breakfast that was arranged - this is a must for anyone going. We expected a simple breakfast - not the champagne/orange juice and omelette station that was set up for us in the middle of the park. Just incredible. All the staff were excellent and our hosts (Graeme and Candy) were amazing. Thank you.

We had a lovely time, the camp was very nice, great staff. Would have like to have more choices of food for the children but it was fine. There weren't as many elephants as we thought would be in Amboseli, we saw more in the Triangle of the Masai Mara. Still, a nice camp, would stay again. Thank you-
