Amboseli National Park is famous for an elephant population of over 1000, as well as lion, cheetah, hyena, and jackal, all dominated by the magnificent Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest free-standing mountain. The area draws photographers from all over the world, due to its rich wildlife diversity coupled with an unmatchable striking backdrop.

Like many of the Elewana Collection camps, Tortilis is a beacon for sustainability and conservation. The camp was one of the first in Kenya to go 100% solar and has been lauded as one of the pioneers of low-impact and high comfort tourism.
