AA Lodge Amboseli
Lodge · Kimana side, 2 to 4 km from Kimana Gate · AA Lodges
Mid-range
Outside the gate
Safari company
A lodge run by AA Lodges, a safari lodge brand in Kenya with properties in Amboseli and the Maasai Mara. Its homepage puts it 'in the heart of the famous Amboseli National Park'. It is not in the park: the lodge's own page gives its position as approximately 2 to 4 km from Kimana Gate, on the edge of the park, and OpenStreetMap places it 3.5 km outside the boundary. So every game drive starts with the gate and the daily KWS fee. Rooms run from singles to family and honeymoon rooms, with a pool and a waterhole, and the lodge offers game drives, bush breakfasts and Maasai cultural experiences. It publishes no rate. Choose it for a mid-range base near Kimana Gate; ask for the price.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Amboseli National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate, per entry of up to 24 hours, flat all year since 1 October 2025.
- $90per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 600 a day for a car under six seats, about $4.60 at KSh 129.45 to the dollar.
- $5per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $555 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Leaving the park and driving back in buys a new ticket, so a lodge outside the gate can mean more fee days than nights.
The full fee schedule for Amboseli National ParkRates at AA Lodge Amboseli
Rates on request. No rate on the pages read on 4 October 2026, although the site has an online booking cart. The KWS conservation fee of $90 per non-resident adult per day (October 2025 card) applies on park days.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 4 October 2026 from each property's own website or rate card and from KWS's October 2025 conservation-fee card and 2025 Mbugani Homes rate card. Angama's 2026 rate comes from an archived copy of its rate page (captured August 2025), because the live site blocks automated reading. None of the figures is a reseller or agent rate; where a property publishes nothing, the entry says Rates on request, and the Budget, Mid-range or Top-end label then follows the style the property describes rather than a price. Booking.com was not checked for any property. Watch the basis: most camps quote per person sharing, the KWS units per unit and Kibo Villa per villa, and the KWS conservation fee of $90 per non-resident adult per day (October 2025 card) is extra almost everywhere, plus conservancy fees at the conservancy camps.
