The Amboseli National Park
Situated a four-hour drive southeast of Nairobi, Amboseli National Park spans 151 km² and is renowned for its majestic herds of big-tusked elephants. The park’s fragile ecosystem, with a usually dry lake bed at its center, is surrounded by Acacia tortilis woodland and grassy savannah, attracting a myriad of wildlife, including wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle.
Elewana Tortilis Camp Overview
Perched in a private conservancy bordering the national park, Elewana Tortilis Camp offers a prime location for witnessing the wonders of Amboseli. Named after the Acacia Tortilis tree, the camp boasts a hillside position in an area rich with this unique woodland. Notably, it was one of the first eco-lodges of its size, proudly operating on 100% solar power, ensuring guests leave a minimal footprint during their stay.
Luxurious Accommodations
Guests at Elewana Tortilis Camp are treated to the epitome of luxury in Makati-covered tents, each featuring a main bedroom with twin or double beds, an en-suite bathroom, and a spacious verandah. The tents can accommodate an extra bed for children under 16, providing a family-friendly environment.

Kilimanjaro and habituated elephant herds add to the allure of this exceptional property.
