Very nice camp close to the Amboseli National Park. Given the price, the camp is really living up to the expectations! The staff is amazingly helpful, friendly and professional. We even got hot towels and a welcome drink upon arriving. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and there is hot running water. The buffet for breakfast and dinner had a nice variety of food and everything tasted really good! I would book again!Posted on Google![]()

Шикарный лагерь! Палатки достаточно далеко друг от друга, чтобы не слышать соседей, большая территория, отлично видно Килиманджаро, чисто. Идеальное белое постельное белье, горячая вода круглосуточно, электричество до 11, но в общих зонах можно и позже зарядить гаджеты. Очень дружелюбный охранник, да и весь персонал весьма приветливый. С удовольстием осталась бы на несколько дней дольше, даже без сафари.
