Tortilis Camp where we stayed in the famous Amboseli National Park, has access to 30,000 acres of Kitirua private conservancy adjoining the park. 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.
Amboseli hosts over 40 species of birds of prey. Some of these birds of prey include: Fish Eagle, Secretary bird, Martial eagle, owls, Vultures and many more. Other birds in Amboseli national park are ground birds like Ostriches, Kori bustards, francolin, Guinea fowl and many others.
After a magnificent day of safaris with our guide John, it was time for a sundowner and a farewell to beautiful Amboseli. And where better to have a sundowner than on top of a hill in front of Mount Kilimanjaro, watching the sunset!! Such a great start to our travels in Africa.
