Experiences
The camp is a base, not the whole trip: the dry lake, hidden springs, rock viewpoints, our Maasai neighbours, or a quiet spot to watch Kilimanjaro arrive.
Kitirua Spring Game Drive
Big elephant herds, plains game and Kilimanjaro at a hidden spring
Cross the Amboseli dry lake to a natural spring where dry-season herds gather in remarkable numbers. It is one of the best places to try for the classic shot of elephants with Kilimanjaro behind them. Bring a towel for a swim.
- 20 min from camp
- Dry season only
- KES 5,000 per vehicle
- Guide booked ahead
Olgulului Rocks
A late-afternoon adventure across the plains
A 40-minute drive across the dry lake or the higher ground, often with plenty of plains game and, with luck, lion or cheetah. On arrival, an easy-to-moderate climb opens wide views toward Tanzania, with a small Maasai settlement close by.
- 40 min each way
- Late afternoon
- Easy to moderate climb
Traditional Maasai Barbecue
Share food, fire and stories with a Maasai family
Spend an afternoon or evening with the Nketuma family around a traditional goat barbecue, hearing about Maasai food, customs and daily life. Not a staged show, just time with a local family. It can also be prepared for you at camp.
- Afternoon or evening
- Advance booking required
Kilimanjaro Sunrise & Sundowners
Sometimes the simplest experiences are the best
Walk 10 to 15 minutes, or take a short drive, to the edge of the dry lake, where the land opens into a huge panorama toward Kilimanjaro. Take coffee for sunrise or drinks after 5pm, with zebra and wildebeest on the lake bed below.
- 10 to 15 minute walk
- Sunrise or after 5pm
- KES 5,000
A Day in Amboseli National Park
Explore the heart of Amboseli
Set aside a full day: in through Meshanani Gate, across the dry lake to Ol Tukai and the swamps that feed the ecosystem, for elephant, buffalo, hippo and birdlife under Kilimanjaro. The areas west of the main swamp stay quieter.
- Full day
- Meshanani Gate route
- Self-drive return via Kitirua Gate
