It means ‘salty dust” in Maa, the language of the Maasai, is a place of stark contrast. The park provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa. Set in rolling savannah scenery the park is dwarfed by the presence of the pink-tinged, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Kibo Safari Camp is a luxury tented camp situated within the Amboseli National Reserve. The Camp incorporates an open terraced restaurant and bar under acacia trees overlooking majestic Mount Kilimanjaro and a beautiful swimming pool has been landscaped within.

There is also a small porch / veranda with seats and a coffee table. All tents are electrically lighted by power supplied from a generator on site.

At Kibo Safari Camp, the emphasis is placed on the experience of dining in the wild. Although meals are provided in a covered restaurant and drinks in a traditional bar, visitors are kept very close to the action by providing large, open areas with seats and tables on them. In this way, you are always right there in the wild.
