Kambi Ya Tembo is a spectacular tented camp situated on the north face of Mount Kilimanjaro in Sinya, a 600-square-kilometer private concession bordering Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Located northwest of Kilimanjaro in tranquil, undiscovered Sinya private reserve on the border of Kenya, the camp offers incomparable scenery with magnificent views of Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru, Ol Doinyo Longido, Ol Doinyo Orok peaks, and the Amboseli plains. It's one of the few places in Africa where you can observe large elephants over 50 years old with massive tusks.
