Must-go camp if you visit Amboseli with a pretty design and even a swimming pool. The location is great with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Very comfortable tents and wonderful environment. Amazing time exploring Amboseli from this great base.

Our stay at this camp was unacceptable. We felt uncomfortable and unsafe due to the camp's poor hygiene and horrible service. The tent was small, dirty, and worn out, there was no hot water not even warm water for showering. The bedding was unclean and no mosquito nets over the beds, and we found plenty of mosquitoes and spiders inside the tent. However, the most despairing part was the food hygiene and staff response. We saw flies and even a cockroach around the serving area and inside the plates and drinks. When I showed them a coffee cup that had flies in it, they were incredibly rude and dismissive. Instead of apologizing, they lied and tried to claim the flies were "cloves". Then snatched the cup to destroy the evidence and laughed at us. Luckily, I had already taken photos as proof. This camp is a health hazard. The combination of dirty facilities, lack of basic amenities, terrible food hygiene, and shockingly rude staff made this the worst part of our trip to Kenya. Avoid this place at all costs.

This rustic camp inside Amboseli national park is one of the only three lodges located inside the park. Their swimming pool will cool you off during the hot afternoons and the waterhole will bring you close to elephants and other wildlife as they drink and graze about.

We had an amazing time at Amboseli discovery camps. Its a great basis for exploring Amboseli The location is great and the view on Mount Kilimanjaro is beautiful. The tents are very confortable with all commodities, more like glamping than camping. The atmosphere is very peaceful and elephants come nearby to dri k water from the watering hole. Swimming pool looks super nice but we didn't have time to go as it was cold when we finished safari. The staff was super friendly and helpful and it was great getting to chat to them. Special thank to Joseph that truly made our stay amazing. Food is very nice, for me it was amount the best we had during safari, the only downside is that its not really local food, more like international cuisine. Overall I would really recommend the place.

Having traveled back from Serengeti and experienced various accommodations, including luxury camps, lodges, and hotels, this camp stands out as the best. The 5-star cuisine and authentic cultural experience are unmatched. I highly recommend this camp for anyone seeking an authentic and top-class safari experience.
