Why Stay at Little Amanya Camp?
Little Amanya Camp is a boutique tented retreat of just eight luxury canvas suites, every one of them — like the public areas — oriented squarely towards Mount Kilimanjaro. Farm-to-table dining from the on-site garden and an unhurried, low-density atmosphere set it apart from Amboseli's larger lodges.
Where Is Little Amanya Camp & What Wildlife Can You See?
The camp sits roughly a 3-minute drive from Amboseli National Park's Iremito Gate, reached by a 45-minute flight from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to Amboseli airstrip plus a 20 to 25-minute transfer (about 20 km), or a 4.5-hour, 250 km road journey via Emali. Game drives through the park bring Amboseli's great elephant herds, lion, cheetah and the marsh birdlife, while clear dry-season mornings — especially January and February — reveal Kilimanjaro's snows above the plains.
Rooms & Style
The 8 tents span Deluxe, Suite and Family configurations, with private bathrooms, verandas facing the mountain and, in the Suite Tent, a balcony bathtub for scenic soaks. A pool, hot tub, bar-lounge and firepit boma frame evenings, with full-board and à-la-carte menus plus private outdoor dining. Hot-air balloon safaris, guided bush walks and Maasai village visits can all be arranged from camp.
Who Is It Ideal For?
- Honeymooners wanting Kilimanjaro sunrises from a private veranda
- Photographers positioned minutes from the Iremito Gate for first light
- Small families using the flexible family tent
- Mid-range travellers seeking boutique intimacy at fair rates
