The Ocean Spa Lodge is the perfect family safari destination, filled with adventures like horse rides and bush walks. Watching Maasai women intricately make their colourful jewellery was a truly mesmerising experience.

Stay at Tortilis Camp
Tortilis Camp is widely regarded as the prime location for witnessing the majesty of Africa’s largest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro.
Amboseli is also known for its magnificent elephants – over 1,000 elephants in the park’s eco-system, featuring some of the largest in Africa. Tortilis Camp is named after the flat-topped, umbrella thorn tree, the Acacia tortilis, and is situated in one of Amboseli’s areas of Acacia Tortilis woodland, with the majestic backdrop of Africa’s highest mountain, and the world’s highest free-standing mountain – the snow-capped Kilimanjaro. Game drives, walks, sundowners and bush meals take place both inside the park, and within a private 30,000
acre game concession.
The tents are all spacious, with king or twin beds and elegant, en-suite bathrooms. There is a main lounge, bar and dining area, all exquisitely built with natural materials and thatched roofs, with magnificent views of Kilimanjaro.
A second new swimming pool has opened for the exclusive use of guests in the Family Tent and Private House. The new pool is complemented by a completely redeveloped Private House, with larger windows, extended roof and new furnishings.
Experiences
Game Drives
Head out with guides who know their backyard intimately, as well as the individual elephants and their family histories, to learn about the area and spot wildlife.
Guided Walks
Walk with local Maasai, who have been walking in these plains since they were born, to learn about the small things that make up this habitat.
Swimming Pool
Escape the midday heat with a dip in the cool pool, shaded by palms and acacia, which makes for a great bird viewing spot right from the water.
Bush Meals
Sit back and savour the smells, sights and sounds of the bush as you enjoy a secluded bush breakfast, or an evening sundowner.
Spa
Safari is not always about being active - treat yourself to a neck and back massage at the end of a long day exploring the bush.
Cultural Visit
Visit Maasai homesteads in their semi-permanent huts made from cattle dung and grass to truly experience the everyday life of the tribe.

I went on an adventure of a lifetime to Kenya, planned by True Travel. Borana was the perfect introduction to Africa – the staff were fantastic, the lodge very comfortable and I had amazing wildlife sightings. Then the helicopter flight and night out with Andrew (the real Crocodile Dundee) was an experience of a lifetime; we went scorpion hunting, crocodile catching, swimming in lakes and flew over flamingos. All in all, everything was fantastically planned and the service was brilliant. I’m looking forward to the next adventure!
