This is the best stay during our two weeks Kenya trip. Location and the property is awesome. Our rooms (tent) are very spacious overlooking the awesome sight of Kilimanjaro mountain. Restaurant is huge with a watch tower in the centre. There are plenty of food option and it's very tasty as well. Staff are very courteous. Though the price is on the higher side, it's worth staying whoever visits Kenya. Fantastic property.

Good location, just by the gate with views to Kilimanjaro. Rooms are OK, a bit outdated and would’ve needed a new mattress. Also a bit annoying that the WiFi only work in the reception and not in the restaurant and bar. Staff is nice and welcoming.

What an amazing experience at Kilima resort. We went in September and enjoyed everything they had to offer. The Masai people added to the experience, a special shout out to Mike Ole Lepayon who shared stories about his tribe and family. Beautiful views of Mt Kilimanjaro from the resort.

We had such a lovely time here during our visit to Amboseli National Park! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive — always smiling and ready to help with anything we needed. The location couldn’t be better, right on the edge of the park with stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, especially in the early morning. After a day of safari, we loved relaxing at the bar (greetings to Johnathan, the bartender) and watching the sunset — such a peaceful and unforgettable atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Amboseli with great people and amazing views!

We stayed at Kilima Safari Camp for two nights during our safari in Amboseli and overall had a pleasant stay. The camp is located right outside the Kimana Gate, which made it convenient for game drives. On arrival, we were greeted with warm hospitality as the staff welcomed us with smiles and helped carry our bags to the room. The property itself is beautiful, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro when the skies are clear. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and well kept. Our door lock was not working during the stay so we could not lock the room, but it did not seem to be a major issue as nothing went missing. Meals were included and served buffet style. While the food was fine, I was not particularly impressed with the offerings. The camp also prepared boxed lunches for our safari drives which was convenient. Drinks were not included and were on the pricey side, so tabs can add up quickly if you are not careful. One unique aspect of the camp is the abundance of wildlife on the property. Monkeys, warthogs, and other animals roam freely, which added to the safari atmosphere. Overall, the location, warm staff interactions, and comfortable accommodations made this a nice stay.
