  • Tortilis Camp is named after the local Acacia Tortilis, set in Amboseli's few remaining areas of unspoiled woodland. The camp is managed as a conservation project, the goal being to take a sensitive approach to tourism. Your first two nights in the African bush will be spent “Hemingway style” in a luxury, tented camp with spectacular views of the snows of Kilimanjaro. Tortilis Camp is a welcoming blend of rustic style and modern comfort designed to make the traveler feel comfortable in Africa. The camp offers luxurious spacious tents with wooden floors, traditional thatched roofs and modern en-suite bathrooms, combined with elegant African décor and furnishings made of locally available materials. One of the distinctive features of Tortilis is the unsurpassed view over the Amboseli plains to Mount Kilimanjaro from each tent’s semi-circular verandah. Your days are spent on both morning and afternoon game drives accompanied by your safari guide. Tortilis offers nature walks guided by the local Masai, which are absolutely fascinating. The guides are happy to pass on their traditions and medicinal lore and to point out which plants they use and which they avoid. Your safari at Tortilis promises to be a high quality, customized adventure for visitors seeking a personal view of Kenya.

  • Lewa Safari Camp is located inside the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, made famous by conservationist and author Anna Mertz. Anna Merz ranks as one of the world's foremost champions of the black rhino. This is not only in her public profile but also in her hands-on approach which has contributed enormously to the survival of Kenya's black rhino. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a wilderness area of pristine beauty and remoteness far away from the madding crowds. Lewa Safari Camp’s permanent tented accommodation is discrete and comfortable with twin beds and en suite bathroom, placed on raised platforms and stonewalls of local lava rock. There are two specially enlarged family and honeymoon suite tents. These, along with the main buildings, are thatched with a beautiful woven papyrus that was introduced to the area from Scotland in the 1920's. There is a saltwater swimming overlooking the rolling hills and plains. The camp's excellent chefs produce delicious, freshly cooked home meals, with emphasis on locally available ingredients. Adjoining the dining area is a warm and cozy lounge, and in the evening guests sit around a campfire under the stars. Activities at Lewa Safari Camp include day and night game drives in search of rhino and other wildlife, horseback riding, camel riding, walks, hikes, and cultural interaction with the II'Nguesi, Ndorobo and Samburu peoples. A few days at Lewa Downs offers a unique combination of hospitality, spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife.

    Day 7 - Day 10
  • Transfer from Lewa Safari Camp to Lewa Airstrip
  • Safarilink flight Lewa Airstrip – Mara Airstrip
  • Transfer from Mara Airstrip to Elephant Pepper Camp
  • Elephant Pepper Camp is situated on the Northern Edge of the Masai Mara reserve on the Koiyaki Community Ranch, within the protected Koiyaki wilderness area, away from other lodges. In order to preserve this special area, the camp is seasonal and is completely dismantled for three months of the year. Looking from the camp across the plains one can see the ‘greatest game show on earth’ when the annual wildebeest migration thunders past to seek new grazing in the lush savannahs of the Masai Mara. Elephant Pepper Camp has been recently refurbished and the 8 spacious canvas tents, with an en suite dressing room, flush loos and safari showers are comfortably furnished. The appetizing food is prepared by chefs trained by the owners’ family using traditional North Italian recipes mixed with international and local favorites. A barbecue by the campfire, dinner in the mess tent, or a bush breakfast on the open plains are some of the lasting memories to take home. Extended game drives each day and some night game drives make game viewing a complete experience. Leave the modern world behind, return to the traditional bush safari camp: starlit nights, campfire tales and hurricane lamps. Elephant Pepper Camp is a step back in time but with modern comforts: evenings by the campfire and dinner under the stars are a special feature of this tented camp.
