A good deal within easy reach of Amboseli's main Kimana Gate, this dusty but great-value tented camp has 20 permanent tents and six cottages, all of which enjoy electricity and 24-hour hot water, although the bathrooms are extremely simple in both cases. There's a restaurant, a kitchen that guests can use and views of Kilimanjaro.
