Overall we had a really good time at this property. Room was spacious and well-appointed, staff were great especially Patrick our game driver and Benson the barman. We were a little disappointed with the food (for example no bacon at breakfast and limited options) but it was adequate. We loved the Masai dance and our game drives were great - very educational and relaxed.

Extremely wonderful stay. Also was upgraded from deluxe to club room and I have to say that is what everyone should book, as instead of facing more tents you instead face the mountain. Perfect for downtime on the patio out front. Would 100% recommend to others. Clean, good staff, good food.

Love the room club tent. Tons of room. Great view. The staff are amazing. Super friendly and respond to your needs instantly. The Ostriches are absolutely hilarious. Made us laugh everyday! Food is top notch. Staying outside the park is good so you have option to pay for the park or not. We saw Craig the old elephant outside the park at the conservancy.

Honestly, it was OK but there’s a few things that they need to work on. They should have a WhatsApp system where we can connect with employees when we need something in the room instead of walking all the way to the front desk to ask for a simple thing like a towel. Also the system of ordering is ridiculous. You have to sign on every order you ask for. For example, if you ask for white wine, they give you a paper to sign for it then if you ask for Water, you get another paper to sign for it so you get 5-6 papers to sign For a few things that you order. And you have to sign before the water even comes to you.

Kibo is a lovely camp. The staff was so accommodating and very attentive. I would like to say that the marketing of the accommodations is misleading. The pictures of the \" Luxury tent\" show that you have a view of Kilimanjaro...but you do not. .I think that this should be stated. This was a huge disappointment as this was my first group that I have brought to Amboseli.

Exceptional service for dinner and Lunch. Thank you, Felix, for your attentiveness.

We were awoken at 3.58 am on a Sunday with blaring music next door. Literally 100+ decibels. We went for our tour after breakfast (incredibly, the music continued after we reported to management). On our return, we found that this continued because there was a \"Church Service\" next door. Chanting, \"Talking in Tounges,\" and preaching continued until late afternoon on Sunday. The manager never gave us any feedback. There is an issue with the location of this church service in the quiet of a National Park Resort.

The bar/Lounge service was simply horrible for us. The service staff in this section were passive and unattentive. This is in sharp contrast with the dining section, where the service was exceptional. But I think this perhaps was just our unlucky day as the other guests seemed to have a great time.

The food was very good overall. Good value for money.

We experienced 16 power outages, lasting from 5 to 15 minutes each. While we eventually got used to them, it would have been helpful if we were informed about this normal occurrence in advance.

Forget using Wi-Fi in the cottages. (Well, for the ones facing Mt Kilimanjaro's side, at least.) Forget about hot showers in this section. Hope for lukewarm.

The reception staff is mixed—very good mixed with very bad.

Construction in lobby which is the only place the wifi works, which was very irritating. No non-dairy options for coffee and tea, not that hard to get almond, soy or rice milk. Felt like much of the staff was in training, which is not what I want to deal with.
Most of the staff was very friendly. Food was ok, had vegan options. Wifi didn't work the whole first day, which is a nuisance when you are trying to download pictures from the day.

We stayed 3 nights at the camp and we always would come back. The tents are so huge in a luxury style with seperate toilet and hot shower. It was always super super super clean in there.
In the guest area there is also a nice swimming bool, a bar, a restaurant, a SPA and a shop.
It is about five minutes to the Amboseli NP gate, perfect location for starting game drives early.
The restaurant did an amazing job, the choice and quality of food was amazing , we are now 10kg heavier ;-)
Also the staff should be mentioned: ALL of them were super nice, friendly and funny. Everybody had time for a short chat and they always had a smile in their faces.

Kilimanjaro at your doorstep

This place is located beautifully, at the entrance of Amboseli and with a stunning views of Kilimanjaro.
It’s a close drive to Kilimanjaro Baloon Safaris, a professional company which takes you to unforgettable early mornings balloon rides.
Service was quite good at Kibo, the food was ok.
Desserts were plain, and being emptied quickly without being filled again
The rooms aer beautifully done in true African style.
We asked for floors to be cleaned, twice, something that hasn’t been done
There weren’t enough towels, and no conditioner/shampoo/bodywash that one would expect to get in places of this price range
And there were school excursion at the same time, something that’s made us complaint to the manager because of the noise during the evening
All in all, a great place with a beautiful location
We would definitely come back if they would improve these small things that can make a big difference

Flott sted, meget komfortable rom/telt, utsikt mot Kilimanjaro, alt i alt veldig bra. Kunne gitt stedet den beste rangeringen, men de sliter litt med logistikken i restauranten, der det ikke er noe system, ofte overfylt og med lange køer til maten. Generelt mindre og dårligere utvalg av mat sammenlignet med tilsvarende lodger.
