About the property
Staying at Nyati Safari Camp.
Nyati Safari Camp is an independent property that Absolute Holiday Safaris books for its guests; we do not own or operate it. It is used on every Absolute budget safari that stays in Amboseli, from the two-day trip from Nairobi to the long Kenya and Tanzania circuits that cross at Namanga.
The camp's tented cabins are raised and roofed, with beds and simple furnishings. Stepping outside at first light and seeing the snows of Kilimanjaro is one of the memorable moments of an Amboseli safari.
From camp, game drives head into Amboseli National Park for its elephant families, swamps and plains. A full day often includes a picnic lunch in the park and a stop at Observation Hill.
