Tortilis Camp

Tortillis camp was great - we really enjoyed the private family house. The two bedrooms were secured well for mosquitos and they provided a pack & play with a mosquito net for my 5-month old! The food was very good. The guide was very knowledgable, h elpful and everything we could have hoped for. At this time of year the game was not very plentiful but the landscape and Kilimanjaro particularly was overwhelming. We really wanted to see Kilimanjaro and this was a great backdrop. I wasn't too keen on going on the Masai Village tour but that was a highlight! So glad we did it. Two nights was perfect, as you suggested.

"Tortillis Camp - Could not fault in any way. Kilimanjaro was in full view for the 2 days,and had a wonderfull sundowner on a hill with a full 360 of the plains below.Elephants by the 100s"

Yes, we are back. In one word, the vacation was “fabulous”, one of the best vacations we ever had. Start with lodging – they are very nice, particularly Tortillis Camp. We did not have any problem staying in camps. Food at Tortillis camp was superb . The chef there especially took extra care to make sure my wife gets vegan meal and I get nice vegetarian meal. Game drives were all excellent and exciting. The drivers in both the camps are very knowledgeable and made all the best efforts to make sure we see as many animals as possible.

Your choices for accommodation were all exceptional and different as promised. The standout accommodation I thought was at Serena Lake Elementiata (very high quality) but the overall service, food, and guiding etc was best in my opinion at Tortilis. We appear to have been extremely lucky talking to other tourists. On our first day in the Crater we saw two separate lion after kills, a significant number of different animals including a serval cat which got the guide quite excited.

"Thank you for planning our wonderful trip. We really enjoyed being on safari and really loved Mara Bushtops and Tortolis Camp. Everything went without a hitch."

Wonderful people in the camps, the camps showed the different parts of the area and terrain. I was a little nervous going by myself but everyone was watching out for me. The managers at the camps were lovely to me and made sure I had everything I n eeded. Food was outstanding!!!!

I'll start at the beginning of our safari adventure. Tortilis camp was wonderful. Manuela and Andrea are wonderful hosts and we had a superb guide, Joel Cheruyiat. The accommodations there were great and so was the food. Everything there is so conv enient because it is a small camp. All the staff there were gracious and welcoming. All the Kenyans we met were so friendly.

Whilst we were always going to visit the Mara, your recommendation to also add (and not drop) the initial 2 day stay at Tortillis camp in Amboselli was well worthwhile. The camp itself was excellent (good accommodation and food and friendly staff), the safari experience particularly close up with the elephants was quite magical and unique. We would thoroughly recommend Tortillis as a valuable add on to a Mara visit.

The Tortillis Camp was beautiful, and we liked it's food the best out of the three camps. The Family suite we were given was beautiful and had lovely terraces to take the afternoon siesta. The guide, Joel, was also the best we had. He was very knowle dgeable, kept giving us interesting facts that had us and the kids marveled, he was funny, daring and sociable. We had a great time at Amboselli and even the fog allowed us to see Mr Kilimajaro.

The first camp - Tortilis - we stayed at set our trip off the best way. The camp is in an excellent location and our tent overlooked a small lake where animals go drinking. The management, John and Claire, was very nice and attentive to our needs/req uests as well as the camp staff. We really enjoyed our guide at Tortillis, Simon, a very knowledgeable and professional guy as well as Jonathan, the masai guide who accompanied us on a walking safari. The food was also quite good.

"Tortillis Camp in Amboseli is an excellent camp, the best food we had in any camp, very comfortable tents, and great game safaris."
