Hotels in Amboseli

The great plains of Amboseli National Park are defined by two things: immense herds of African elephants and the towering, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro just across the border in Tanzania. This is a landscape of open savannah and seasonal swamps, where you can watch hundreds of animals against the iconic backdrop of Africa’s highest mountain. Game drives here are exceptional, particularly around the Enkongo Narok and Ol Tukai swamps, which attract vast numbers of wildlife, from lions and cheetahs to flamingos and pelicans.

Amboseli is a destination for safari-goers and wildlife enthusiasts, perfect for couples or families seeking an authentic Kenyan park experience. Most visitors stay in lodges and camps just outside the park boundaries in the Kimana area, which offers easy access through the Kimana or Iremito gates. The park is about a four-hour drive from Nairobi, and many travelers arrive via scheduled flights landing at the small Amboseli airstrip near the park headquarters.

Accommodation here is dominated by safari lodges and tented camps, ranging from comfortable to outright luxurious. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the eco-conscious Tortilis Camp, the family-friendly Ol Tukai Lodge, the classic Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, and the more rustic Kibo Safari Camp. Each offers a unique way to experience the magic of the plains.
