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.

This is a gorgeous place to stay, 5 min outside the park. The tents are lovely, the staff extraordinary, the food excellent. The only complaint is that you have to buy all your drinks including even water.

This is a great place to stay in Amboseli. Located right outside the gate (less than 3 min to gate). The accommodations are great! The food and staff are great too! We had Benard as our driver and he was great as well! If you’re coming to Amboseli stay at Kibo, you won’t regret it!

We loved our stay at Kibo Safari Camp! We stayed for 5 nights and were made to feel very welcomed and at home! Dinner is amazing - there is a wood burning pizza oven and different grill stations! The bar area is beautiful and spacious. Our tent was very spacious and comfortable. It did not get cold at all, which was surprising!

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.

Love our stay here. The tents are very comfortable and it was a real treat to stay here. The only downside is it that its a very big place and it can sometime feel like a school camp! But otherwise it was a wonderful stay. Food, showers, bed, staff all get a big tick Internet get a cross.
