Tortilis Camp is a charming, rustic tented camp, shaded by a natural forest of acacia tortilis thorn trees after which the camp is named. The trees and shrubs bustle with bird life and the views seem endless across the plains to Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru in Tanzania. Tortilis offers guests a magical escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of life and invokes feelings of awe as you look out from the camp to the magnificent mountains. This camp has earned an international reputation for its commitment to the environment with its rustic simplicity, unobtrusive design and attention to comfort without compromising the ecosystem.

It is set in a private part of the camp and is ideal for families travelling together.
