Nyati Safari Camp

Nyati Safari Camp sits beside Kimana Gate, one of the main entrances to Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya, which puts the park’s open plains, swamps and big elephant herds only minutes away. The camp is roughly 240 kilometres from Nairobi by road, and Amboseli airstrip is a short transfer away for those who prefer to fly. Accommodation is a relaxed mix of safari tents and stone cottages, each with an en suite bathroom, hot showers and mosquito nets. On clear days Mount Kilimanjaro dominates the horizon, and you can take in the view from your room as well as from the indoor and outdoor dining areas. Evenings revolve around the bar, the restaurant and the campfire. Days are spent on morning and afternoon game drives in Amboseli, with guided nature walks, birdwatching, Maasai village visits and sundowners also on offer, plus bush dinners, night drives and hot air balloon flights on request. Nyati suits travellers looking for a friendly, good value base close to the park gate, including first-time safari goers, families and photographers hoping to capture elephants against Kilimanjaro.
