Kibo sits just outside the Amboseli boundary, on ground crossed by ancient elephant routes and seasonal marshes. Being outside the park keeps the price down, and the elephants do not check the boundary — they walk through anyway.
It is a big camp, 110 tents, in single, double, triple and family configurations. That scale is exactly why we use it: for a family group or a party of a dozen, most Amboseli camps simply cannot take you together.
The beds are custom-built locally out of bush timber, and the fruit and vegetables come off the camp's own farm rather than up the road from Nairobi. Neither is a headline feature, but both are the sort of thing that shows up in how a place actually feels — and in the food.
110 self-contained tents, all en-suite, in four configurations.
Dry months, June to October and January to February, give the clearest Kilimanjaro views and the best game concentrations around the marshes.
As a mid-range camp outside the park, seasonal price swings here are gentler than at the in-park lodges — useful if you must travel in peak season on a fixed budget.
Being straight with you: this property is not currently a default in any of our fixed packages. We contract it directly and build it in on request. Any of these itineraries can be re-costed around it:
Comparing options? Every lodge we book is on the accommodations page. We would rather put you somewhere that suits you than somewhere that pays us more.
Tell us your budget and dates and we will put two or three Amboseli options side by side, honestly compared.
