Kibo Safari Camp is situated approximately 1km from Kimana Gate, outside the national park, offering splendid views of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. Amboseli, meaning “salty dust” in Maa, the language of the Maasai, is a place of stark contrast. The park provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa. Set in rolling savannah scenery, the park is dwarfed by the presence of the pink-tinged, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Kibo Safari Camp offers 110 self-contained tents, accommodating single, double, triple, and family groups. The beds have been custom-designed and locally made using bush logs, ensuring a good night’s sleep. All tents have flush toilets, showers, and wash basins. You can enjoy your shower as you like: bubbling hot or refreshing cold. 

Dine in an open terraced restaurant set under acacia trees overlooking the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro. Fruits & vegetables are served fresh as they are picked from the camp’s very own farm. The camp chef will pamper you with a variety of fine cuisine to suit all tastes. Special meal requirements are met on request, eg, vegetarian or special meals for the sick.
