To a camp with the perfect view of Mt Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain at 5,895 meters 19,341 feet. Unsurpassed views in every direction, coupled with a truly unique camp designed and built from local materials, gives the discerning traveler the chance to experience the flavour’s and romance of real Africa at its very best.

The camp currently has 12 mountain facing Deluxe Tents and 5 large Cottage Rooms.

The facilities are supplied with hot running water provided by eco friendly solar units.

The Elerai Camp project is a community project that has been a long time in the making. The project has been a concerted effort between Elerai Camp, The African Wildlife Foundation and The Elerai community. The concept is to provide a sustainable income from tourism for the Masai community in the area and to try and ensure that it is in the communities interest to protect the wildlife for generations to come. Amboseli has been a location where human-wildlife conflict has been an issue for many years, and it is projects like these that can over time ensure that communities start to benefit from wildlife and to ensure they invest in protecting and securing their future for their own benefit.

One of the biggest advantages of Elerai Camp is that being located on its own private conservation area clients have the chance to view wildlife in private surroundings. In addition we also offer clients the chance to enjoy spectacular bush sundowners, night game drives and game walks on the conservancy, activities that are restricted or not available to the lodges located within the park.

The Cottage Rooms & Deluxe Tents at Elerai Camp were built and designed to ensure that your stay will be in complete luxury. Huge beds with quality mattresses and pillows and a large duvet ensure that you will sleep through the night in total comfort.The Cottage Rooms offer large sliding doors open out onto your own private verandah overlooking the plains below and Amboseli National Park. Each room has its own bathroom with a view, designed using natural rock and acacia wood the bathrooms have a design and feel unique to Elerai.
