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!!!

Amazing location, unfenced camp next to watering hole. Animals regularly use the watering hole, elephants, warthogs, zebras, baboons and even a lion. The food was 5 star. We were in Kenya for nearly a month, in a wide variety of accomodation including the Movenpick in Nairobi. The food here topped the lot.

Great stay! This place was created to provide a space for education and awareness for the Maasai community. During our stay, we were lucky enough to attend one of their gatherings. The site has recently started offering the option to camp in spacious tents. So by staying at this campsite, you're also supporting a good cause. The grounds are large and secured with fencing. It’s located right in the heart of the savannah. You can go on walks in the surrounding area with a guide and spot wildlife. The staff is attentive, and it's also possible to use the kitchen, which is a big plus. You shouldn't expect a high level of comfort, but it was more than enough for us.

Exceptional game drives with knowledgeable guides. We were blown away by the sheer amount of wildlife on the drives and bush walk. We were treated to an abundance of animals and birds, and particularly enjoyed being in close proximity with Craig, Amboseli’s biggest tusker. The camp is very luxurious and the staff go above and beyond to make sure you are looked after like royalty. Delicious meals prepared to a high standard in the bush and at the camp, evening sundowners overlooking Kilimanjaro, morning sunrises and incredible landscapes, this is a very special place and exceeded our expectations in every way.

    The location is good with a nice view of Kilimanjaro when it decides to show its top. 20min from the park entrance. The facilities were clean and comfortable. But the greatest thing is the restaurant right at the edge of the park which makes it possible to spend the whole day in the park without losing a lot of time going back and forth to have lunch. All the staff were very nice

    A very beautiful, quiet and friendly place with great location close to Amboseli National Park. We had our own hut with stunning views to the Kilimanjaro, accompanied by bird's twitter and monkeys. The accomodation is basic, but was very clean and excellent value for the price. Breakfast and dinner were homemade and very good. The staff was very friendly and can organize game drives to the Amboseli or Tsavo National Parks or transport to further locations. We enjoyed the bush walk in the surrounding area and to Massai villages.
