Tortilis Camp

This is a great place to start a safari, relax and acclimatise. The food is part of the charm: North Italian traditional recipes from the owner's family cookbook, complimented by delicious salads and herbs grown in the camp's own garden.

Here clients enjoy varied game viewing and can also spend time following the matriarchal elephant herds from the luxury of open sided safari Land Rovers; or walk with a trained Maasai guide, sip sundowners on top of Kitirua hill as the sun sets colouring the snows of Kilimanjaro pink, bush breakfasts out on the plains or a visit to one of the Maasai manyattas (villages) to meet the Maasai women, watch the Morans (young warriors) dance and experience their age-old existence.

The camp won the British Airways regional award for ecotourism and has earned an international reputation for its commitment to the environment with its rustic simplicity, unobtrusive design and attention to comfort without compromising the ecosystem. The tents are large, the emphasis is on service and comfort.

17 spacious tents, raised on wooden decks & shaded with makuti (thatched) roofs: 9 with king size bed, 7 with twin beds and 1 family room with 2 rooms. they are all having spacious shaded verandahs,each with a Lamu day bed, great views & privacy and ideal for an early afternoon siesta...
