Elerai Camp
Ranked in Best Safari Lodges in Amboseli
About
Warm rooms & permanent tents in a laid-back lodge offering free meals & views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The infinity pool is breathtaking but freezing, and the tents hit the perfect balance between luxury and authentic bush camping. Paul, the local guide, knows exactly where the elephants gather and his knowledge is unmatched—plus the road back to camp is long and bumpy, which somehow makes it feel more remote and special.

We had an amazing end to our honeymoon safari at Elerai camp - what a treat to have a pool to relax in during the day! The road back to camp was long and bumpy but it was amazing to stay near a park with SO MANY elephants!! We were very lucky with all the animals we saw thanks to our amazing guide Paul who was unbelievably knowledgeable, patient, funny and friendly. All of the staff were very attentive, especially our new friend Mr Wilson! We had an amazing bush walk and sundowner which we were so lucky to have all to ourselves! It’s a shame we could not stay here for longer as the food and views were amazing too, with our very own watering hole out the front!!! Thank you all 💗💗💗

We absolutely loved staying at Elerai Camp and I cannot recommend staying there enough. The grounds of the camp were beautiful and took "glamping" to a whole new level. The tents were the perfect mix of luxury and traditional camping. You are staying in the bush after all and I loved getting the full experience! And waking up to the sight of Mount Kilimanjaro was incredible. The staff at Elerai Camp was so kind and accommodating and made sure you wanted for nothing (major shout out to James!). The food was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to and being around everyone who worked there. Such a kind group of people who I will never forget. Mwangi was an amazing game drive guide and made sure we saw it all! I have never seen so many elephants nor been that close to one in my life (I'm talking within 6 feet!). Being among the elephants and other animals is something I will never forget. I really enjoyed my stay here and am looking forward to hopefully coming back one day!

Unfortunately, we were only able to stay at Elerai Camp for one night. We would have loved to stay longer in this dreamlike location: clean rooms with high comfort, fantastic views of Kilimanjaro, delicious food, breathtaking - but cold ;-) - infinity pool, and super friendly staff. We would love to come back!

We stayed over in this magical lodge for our honeymoon and had an incredible time. The camp is a bit more remote which makes it very cozy and a feeling of being in the middle of nature. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The food was great and the safaris to Amboseli will stick in our memories forever.

We stayed at this beautiful property, full facilities and decoration. The chef was great and the food was so tasty and very well served. All staff were friendly and really eager to please you. They provided a good quality safari vehicle and our guide Paul was local. He was very pleasant, with university education on wild life, his knowledge on wild life was so good and he was very eager to show us around to maximise our enjoyment. If you stay there, ask for Paul to be your guide. We also had Mt. Kilimanjaro as we open the curtains, great view. There is a water hole visible from the dining room and swimming pool with elephants and other wildlife all the time.
