Elewana Tortilis Camp

Excellent camp with a great crew! Our tent was amazing and had all the conveniences as if we were in a luxury hotel room. The view from the main dining area was on top of a hill facing a small pond where we saw zebra and other animals grazing through as we were eating our delicious meals. Our safari guide, John, took good care of us and we were able to observe many elephants in their natural habitat along with other wildlife. The staff was great; we felt very comfortable here.

No review will do this magical place justice but I will try Me and my wife spent the first stop of our honeymoon here during our first trip to Africa. What was evident immediately was that this would be no ordinary holiday destination We were met at the airstrip by our guide for our stay Martin, who had tea/coffee and snacks for us. He briefed us on the safari element of our stay before taking us on our first game drive on the way to check in. If this had been our only game drive it would have been special, Martins intimate knowledge of the environment, flora and fauna made every drive unique and engaging. He was so kind and knowledgeable; and we are blessed to have shared his company. On arrival at camp we were greeted by Graeme (Tortilis Manager) and his wife and a variety of other staff who welcomed us so warmly while also going an extra mile to provide us complimentary fizz and couples massage for our honeymoon. The staff are consistently excellent; providing everything and anything needed for our stay. In particular our assigned waiter for our stay Sam was incredible; always on hand to make sure every little detail of our dinner or drinks were perfect. The camp also outwith game drives arranged all sorts of special activities including Bush breakfast (complete with fresh omelettes), hilltop sundowner (with full bar) and a wonderful walking safari to see our surroundings from a new angle. All I can say is, this place will stay with us forever and we hope we are lucky enough to visit again one day. If you are new to safari/Africa like we were then I cannot reccomend Tortilis and Amboselli enough!

Totally unexpected.. the camp is set beautifully overlooking the plains/watering hole, with a huge lounge area for having your evening sundowner drinks or tea time snacks and playing some games We had 2 standard tents, the family tent, plus the private house.. and our own pool which was a bonus for the kids, weather was amazing for this! I highly recommend this for families and those that have mobility issues as they are much closer to the main mess areas. The standard rooms are set further down a slope, so those with walking issues should be aware, but the cars can pick you round the back when needed! Caroline and Collins welcomed us with drinks and warm towels, and looked after our massive group so well. Donald was our assigned waiter, he was ever smiling, remembered each person's dietary needs and likes. And he is superb with kids. The food was beyond our expectations, 5* chef, they catered for every single person Our game drives were done in private landcruizers at our own chosen times. We managed to see many small game and elephant and super views of Mt Kili. But we were unlucky and saw a male lion for a brief moment as he shied away from us.. Overall definitely worth the trip to this lodge

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.

We stayed here for 2 nights. We visited Amboseli National Park and saw so many animals with Mount Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. The staff were extremely hospitable, the chefs pampered us with amazing food and gave us many vegan options. The tents were amazing and well kept. I would recommend this place without any hesitation.
