Why Stay at Sentrim Amboseli?
Sentrim Amboseli is a relaxed four-star tented lodge whose 62 deluxe canvas units pair traditional safari style with hard floors, en-suite bathrooms and proper beds — comfort without losing the feel of sleeping under canvas. A year-round outdoor pool with sun loungers, a spa and massage parlour, and a dedicated observation walkway built for sunset and Kilimanjaro viewing give guests plenty to enjoy between drives.
Where Is Sentrim Amboseli & What Wildlife Can You See?
The lodge stands about 3 km — an eight-minute drive — from Amboseli's Kimana Gate, putting the park's permanent swamps and their massive elephant herds within easy morning reach. Clear-morning views of Mount Kilimanjaro reward early risers, particularly in the January-to-February window. Daily scheduled flights connect Nairobi's Wilson Airport with Amboseli Airstrip in about 40 minutes, roughly 25 minutes from the lodge, while the road route via Emali or Namanga covers around 230 km in about four hours.
Rooms & Style
The tented rooms come in Deluxe Double, Twin and Triple configurations, all with private bathrooms and terraces or balconies facing the gardens and landscape beyond. Family-friendly touches include a children's pool alongside the main pool, and dining runs from full-board buffets to vegetarian and vegan options.
Who Is It Ideal For?
- Families wanting tents plus a children's pool
- Mid-range travellers who value gate proximity
- Kilimanjaro photographers using the observation walkway
- Small groups mixing doubles, twins and triples
