Holiday Rentals in Amboseli

We only had 2 nights to spend in Amboseli, but I could have stayed at this lovely accommodation for so much longer - I did not want to leave! It was so relaxing, the staff were super helpful and friendly, the owners were kind and helpful, the cottage was really sweet. The double bed (4 poster) was dreamy with views of Mt Kilimanjaro and the twin room was comfy and peaceful. The kitchen was really well-equipped, the oven and stove was fab (I did lots of cooking and baking) and the terrace with picnic bench and comfy day bed was heavenly... gazing over to Kilimanjaro, seeing the giraffe in the morning, feeling the expansive nature and wild remote magic all around us was simply enchanting. I am always the enthusiast, so asked if we could find local fresh milk and meat from neighbouring farmers and the owners immediately helped us out. We had delicious milk and lamb which could not have been more fresh and organic and tasty. We felt safe, welcome and enchanted. We went on two brilliant guided walks with John, who was always kind and friendly, pointing out details and helping us to find Ostrich, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Antelope and Masai herds of cows, goat, sheep as well as all the birds. We saw Elephant prints and heard a Cheetah was nearby but didn't see those animals... but we got up too late for elephant sightings so that was our own fault! The housekeeper Maureen did an excellent job, she was always available and became a friend within a few hours. The owners Jane and Ean were incredibly helpful and clearly care a lot about their guests, their property and the nature all around them. Jane was always in communication, very patient and made great recommendations. One example is the driver who brought us from Emali train station to Amboseli and back again, a legend called Luka. Jane suggested we go with him, and I would also highly recommend Luka as a driver.

A tranquil place in the middle of savanna with magnificent views on Kilimanjaro, birds singing since early morning on acacia trees and amazing people who make this please special and take care of you like of their own friends. We arrived in Emali and were picked up by a taxi and brought directly to the camping. We booked four nights in a tent but as we had no car and our backpacks would probably not fit in a tent, we had to change for a house (additionally paid). This place is very safe, surrounded by an electric fence, gate closed for the night and security (Sam) is always there for you. Brian (Lerionka) is a great host (he together with Sam and my husband organized beautiful birthday for me), an awesome cook (his food was delicious) and tour guide - he knows so much about the nature and enjoys sharing his passions with guests. We went on one-day Safari in Amboseli organized by Brian with a guide Isak (very competent guide with years of experience, highly recommended), walking tour (spotting zebras) on savanna next to the camping, hiking on foothill of Kili and even a cooking lesson with Brian. If you would like to relax, spend time in nature, enjoy the views of top of Kilimanjaro and get an authentic experience in Kimana and Oloitokitok, you should definitely stay longer than 2 nights. Thank you for your great hospitality!!!

Food was delicious and the staff super friendly. Wild animals including elephants would come around and pass by. The view of Kilimanjaro from the camp is astonishing.

Location close to kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park and incredibly friendly staff

The location was fantastic, very convenient access to Amboseli Safari Park, only 15 mins away. The breakfast at Amboseli was amazing, excellent choices and very friendly and attentive staff.

Stunning views, helpful staff, clean, lovely food. Amazing bush dinner, staff were wonderful. Thank you.

It was a self-catering place and had everything we needed to prepare the cooked food we had already carried for our trip. When we arrived, the caretaker was already on hand to welcome us. He respected our privacy, so as soon as he saw that we were settling in, he made himself scarce. Sure, the water pressure was low and the freezer wasn't cold, but that's because of the general location itself, so it's not a deal breaker at all. My sister and I were respectful of conserving electricity and water. Any guest who comes should be aware of this and manage their expectations. The important thing is that we had a restful and comfortable stay in the Red House. We had a fantastic view of Mount Kilimanjaro. The breeze was refreshing. The owner was very responsive to my queries. I had a bit of a challenge driving on the corrugated dirt road. Took me longer than expected, again nothing to do with the accommodations itself, but any visitor should be aware that they really need a 4x4 to get to the location. I will be a repeat visitor, for sure. Can't wait to return with friends in the near future.

the location, sunsets, uniqueness of accommodation and game drives only 5mins drive to park.
