The entrance of the resort does no do it justice. It was beautiful. If you told me there was such a thing as luxury tents, I would not have been able to picture that before arriving at Kilima Safari Camp. Our "tent' rooms were magnificent. The bedding should have come with a order form, because we all wanted a set... More

Stephanie and I stayed here for two nights of our Kenyan Safari. The "tent" was absolutely luxurious and immaculately maintained. Our first taste of a tented camp. Our first visit to Amboseli too. That is this camp's greatest asset - its situation- just outside the magnificent Park. Although, having said that, I must admit that this was our only disappointing... More

We stayed here as part of a four day Safari. The 'Tents' are that in name only they are very spacious and well equiped to a luxury standard situated around the site. Food was excellent with a good choice.The lodge is well kept with friendly staff and has a viewing platform in the centre Tower. It is well situated for... More

We received a warm welcome at Kilima Safari Camp and found the location just outside Kilima Gate, Amboseli to be ideal. Living in Namibia, we are no strangers to game parks, lodges, camps and safaris so it was rather a shock and slightly disappointing to discover a very large 'mass-tourist' style camp. Luckily, the place was all but empty but... More

We really enjoyed our stay here! The tent rooms and bathrooms were awesome! The view of Mt. Kilimanjaro (when it comes out) is perfect! Food and service were great! Also, there was a nice watering that all the tents face. Elephants like to come and play and drink from it. Nice game viewing just from the comforts of your front... More

The camp is large, beautifully kept, and the service was excellent. Our tent was very large and very luxurious, with a huge bathroom, double sinks, big shower, large private toilet room with bidet. Hot water was always available during the hours advertised. Our patio looked out to Mt. Kilimanjaro. What more could you ask? While the tent was a brisk... More

The camp is located just outside the Amboseli gate. The tents in the camp are very specious with a very specious bathroom & toilet area. Our tent was very far from the reception area. So the way back from the dining hall after dinner was very scary. But somebody from the camp always used to accompany us on our way... More

The staff at Kilima Camp, 30 seconds from the entrance to Amboseli National Park, were very helpful, polite, and really knew their stuff when it came to the animals. There were elephants galore in the park! The camp was practically deserted when we stayed, which meant it was sometimes uncomfortable with quite a few staff per couple, and little atmosphere... More
