The camp looks down onto the Amboseli National Park in one direction and up to Mt Kilimanjaro in the other direction, giving clients what is arguably the best location of any camp in Amboseli.

Elerai Conservation area is one of the best game walking areas in Kenya with several different options for walks including several walks in the nearby river gorge. The Walks are offered free of charge and allow you to experience the bush and wildlife in a completely different way. Take advantage of this special activity. A sundowner with Kilimanjaro as the backdrop is something not to be missed. Few locations offer such an amazing chance to take that ideal Africa sunset picture with the bonus of Kilimanjaro in the background.
Few places offer the opportunity to see the nocturnal wildlife of Africa. Night game drives give you the opportunity to see Serval Cats, Genet Cats, Civet Cats, Ardwolfs, Owls, Bush babies and many other beautiful species that roam the bush at night. This offers a different experience and is a must for those that have never experienced it. Amboseli offers one of the most amazing locations to do a Balloon safari. With Mt Kilimanjaro as a back drop and the Amboseli swamps and elephants completing the landscape below this is something everyone should try and include during their time at Satao Elerai.
