"I can recommend
Eyes on Nature Expeditions safaris to anyone who wants to experience
"the African Adventure",
the luxury of the lodges, the
beauty of the country, the people
and above all a guide who will
explain everything about the
animals and their behaviour.
They made our trip a wonderful
experience". Phil

The
guides have an intimate
knowledge of the park's five
different wildlife habitats,
which are home to a wide variety
of plants and animals. amboseli
is the best place in Kenya to
watch elephants, and you may see
cheetahs and lions among the big
cats. The park also has a large
concentration of Maasai giraffe,
buffalo, zebra, eland, Coke's
hartebeest, waterbuck, gazelle

Tortilis Camp Facilities
Tortilis Camp is named after the
local Acacia Tortilis, set in
one of amboseli 's few remaining
areas of unspoilt woodland. The
camp is managed as a
conservation project. Our goal
is simple: to take a sensitive
approach to tourism. To assure
the long term future of amboseli
through natural biodiversity,
part of the money we make is
used for environmental
restoration. Tortilis Camp is an
exclusive tented lodge on the
edge of the amboseli National
Game Reserve. A luxurious
hillside eerie. From Tortilis,
you can see for miles across the
plains of amboseli into
Tanzania, as far as Mount Meru
silhouetted against the horizon.
Relax in the lounge and gaze at
the awe-inspiring view of
Africa's highest mountain:
Kilimanjaro. We had to lay on
something special to entice you
back from your tent. Your tent
is naturally screened by trees
and shrubs from others. At
night, the sounds of the bush
lull you to sleep. Before you
join us for drinks and dinner,
enjoy the view from your tent
verandah. Watch elephant
families close by as they forage
just outside camp. Guests sleep
under canvas, but in style.
Large comfortable beds, elegant
bathrooms (with steaming hot
showers and modern toilets) and
a hot cup of tea at your bedside
when you wake up. Laze by the
pool with a refreshing drink.
Swim and relax until its time
for a game drive and sundowners.
We are renowned for our
delicious homestyle cuisine.
Fresh herbs and vegetables are
grown in camp and homemade
pasta, Tortilis' speciality, is
carefully prepared by the chef,
trained by the owner's mother in
good Italian home cooking. And
to work up your appetite, you
can enjoy the luxury of stepping
out of the camp with a Masai
expert for a guided gamewalk
outside the park. Alternatively,
one of our drivers will take you
on a gamedrive through the park.
Tortilis Camp Additional

Game drives through the National
Park, where Elephant can be seen
in hundreds. Black Rhino, Lion

There are always huge herds of
Zebra and Wildebeest on the
plains. The scenery and views
are sensational. Walking safaris
with a Masai guide, outside the
Park, gives you a chance to
identify some of the birds;
there are over 300 species in
this area. One can often see
some of the timid animals on
foot, such as the Dik Dik.
